“31 October 2004. This fun, sporting romance of a movie would been better received by the larger movie-going audience if the sportu0026#39;s emphasis had been on America – but nevertheless, for any anti-Brit – that just too bad. I enjoyed the movie and even as a former high school tennis player, I even found the tennis scenes believable and exciting – this movie had a good balance between its romance and sport (something most sport-romance films often fail to be able to do). While the romance and action were typical, the basic flavor of movies nowadays have advanced a bit, including Wimbledon. Itu0026#39;s not fun and games. There are even losses. But getting in the tennis playeru0026#39;s mind, namely Paul Bettany, was a nice touch along with the decent tennis action. A must see for female tennis players who like a bit of romance along with anyone who likes tennis and behind the scenes comedy and entertainment.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAn excellent date movie, with a sport-bent. Seven out of Ten Stars.”
