The Players (2014)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Sex, French-style. Several vignettes, some long, some short, some no more than sketches, some better than others, some serious, most not so serious, "The Players" is about infidelity and stars the always reliable, indeed reliably marvelous Jean Dujardin and Gallic Liam Neeson lookalike Gilles Lellouche, each playing several roles, mostly as boorish, over-sexed males getting their rocks off with any female in sight and ultimately with each other. For the most part this is a fun film and, despite having several different directors, is much better than it has any right to be. It certainly shows Dujardin off to good effect and proves, once and for all, that his Oscar wasn't a one-hit-wonder.

This is fantastic. I am very satisfied with me and my friends decision to watch this movie in the morning time after a very long night, also stoned.Wonderful. I recommend to everyone who has ever cheated or been cheated on or just like some good stuff. Cinematography was very french like, nice women, also satisfactory. And the twist ending was one of the greatest things in the history of FILM.If you feel like something is missing from your life then always look to your side.. maybe the look in your friends eyes is the missing link in your life. You don't have to hide your sexuality. Gay is good.

this film is actually very hollow to portray two sexual driven french guys whose only desire was to fornicate any average pretty woman they encountered any time and any place. they both were married but simply couldn't keep their zippers up. they were night prowlers in all the nightclubs or even in the daytime attending seminars. there were so many unnecessary ugly sexual intercourse scenes that only the wild monkeys would do. the whole movie was trying to categorize itself in the comedy genre but not even one moment you'd have a feeling to smile or laugh. if you think it's drama, then it was too shallow. two guys were prescribed by the screenplay as two attractive males to women, but with these two casting, only the movie by itself could make them attractive to women. they were just average males with average looks, yet the script endowed one of them so popular with women and most of time he could score, while the other usually by passed by most women. this is a very pathetic movie that was so tasteless and boring to the extreme. and i really don't know what made this screenplay to be approved into production. there's no purpose at all to have another pointless movies churned out from the french movie industries. the investors who invested on this shallow movie simply lost more than the movie goers who just wasted a few bucks. a movie you shouldn't go to theater to watch, not even worth renting the DVD.

The movie made big waves even before it hit the international cinema screens, because someone leaked the fact that a movie poster got held back because it was inappropriate and would have diminished Jean Dujardins chances of winning the Oscar (or was it just a publicity stunt?). The movie itself might be able to live off that controversy at first, but even after a few "shocking" moments at first, it'll have to stand on its own two feet (pun not intended).Dujardin and his partner (in crime) here show a real passion for that project. They go places you might expect them to go. But even if only Dujardin is on your radar (the other actor being very famous in France too), it is a lack of emotion for both characters and the triviality of the whole thing, that might make you want to stop watching it. The overall idea was nice and I still kind of like it, but it's anything but special ...
