Players (2024)

To quote Coi Leray, “Girls is players, too.” In the new rom-com Players, Mack (Gina Rodriguez), a sports journalist, calls her best plays off the field. As a mastermind for hookups, Mack devises schemes for herself and her friends to use to score one-night stands. Mack only uses her rules for hookups, refusing to use her plays for a relationship.
That all changes with the arrival of Nick (Tom Ellis), a likable war correspondent. For the first time, Mack sees the endgame, and her target is Nick. Is this player capable of settling down? Mack needs her best friend, Adam (Damon Wayans Jr.), and the rest of their crew to execute one final game plan to win the biggest prize: love.
