Wimbledon
Peter Colt (Bettany) is an unlucky guy, scoring "love" both professionally and personally. Seeded near the bottom of the world tennis ranks, he manages to score a wild card, allowing him to play in the prestigious Wimbledon tournament. There, he meets and falls in love with American tennis star Lizzie Bradbury (Dunst). Fueled by a mixture of his newfound luck, love and on-court prowess, Peter works his way up the ranks of the tournament players and actually stands a chance of fulfilling his lifelong dream of winning the men's singles title--if his luck can just hold out.

There aren't many Tennis movies so when one does come out, Tennis fans are quick to see it and quick to judge it. As well as being a movie about Britain's famous Wimbledon Tennis Tournament it is a romantic comedy. I think a lot of people who see the movie and are disappointed with the so called lack of Tennis scenes are forgetting the movie is also about the romance between the two tennis players.BORING!! - hilkayaker
I seem to be relatively alone in this opinion based on the other reviews so I thought I should add my two-cents as well. I thought this movie started off slow and it was hard to watch because I just couldn't get into it. I love Kirsten Dunst and most of her movies but this one just didn't do it for me. I thought the love story was dull and did not make me all sentimental. Rent it if you like tennis and the actors, but you might find it a little slow and dull too.Sweet romantic flick, with good tennis action - iheart
Paul Bettany is charming and funny. Kirsten Dunst is lovable. This movie was shot in Wimbledon, so you get a peek at the world renowned championship court. It is accurate enough for the sports enthusiast yet stylized enough (tennis action that is not boring) to just be enjoyed by all movie lovers. All in all a thoroughly entertaining rainy-day/chick flick/feel-good movie. Bonus: Shots of Paul Bettany in his undies.
