    While Gerard Butler is mostly known for his macho roles in movies like 300, he has dabbled in the romantic comedy genre before with movies like P.S. I Love You and The Bounty Hunter. Now he’s trading his broadsword for a soccer ball in Playing For Keeps, a rom-com in which he plays a former pro player who now coaches his son’s soccer team. While fending off advances from all the soccer moms nearby, he tries to win back the heart of the former love of his life (Jessica Biel). The movie looks a bit sappy, but it’s got a solid cast so it could turn out just fine. Take a look at the trailer (via Yahoo!) below!
