Gerard Butler adds another career-crushing notch to his career by playing a former soccer star trying to reconnect with his ex-wife  (Jessica Biel), and their son (Noah Lomax). So he fills in as his son's soccer coach. It all seems harmless enough until director Gabriele Muccino crassly starts throwing women at him, demeaning the characters and the exploited actresses who play them,including Judy Greer, Uma Thurman Catherine Zeta-Jones. You don’t need to know more. Just stay away. It’s awful.

"This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
