    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I really cannot make up my mind about this film, even having watched it twice. On the plus side, it sticks with the tried and trusted formula of British eccentricity whilst casting the beautiful Kirstin Dunst in one of the lead roles. On the down side, the CGI effects are at best cumbersome. There is just something that is not right in this film, the cameos are impressive in a way (they have got some big names in) but the delivery of their lines is as wooden as log fire. The flow of the film is just not there and I think that this is summed up by the ending - it just stutters along to a predicatble conclusion. Whilst also highly unbeleivable, the actual film miss out several key elements of a tournament - it is just all about the unlikely romance of two players. The only saving grace is a naked Kirsten Dunst, but she manges to keep her impressive baps covered (even with the slo-mo and zoom on boys)

  • Worth a watch

    Well-done feel-good film. Great to see Bettany in a leading role. It's a bit predictable, but then it is a rom-com. However, the romance isn't over-done, and the comedy is actually funny. Definitely worth watching if you're after a light-hearted, easy-to-watch film.

  • Feel-good film!

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By B30756 (5 reviews) from Weymouth , 19 Apr 2012
    Many people will dislike this film because of it's lack of reality, so if you are an avid tennis player I would probably avoid watching. For anyone looking for a feel-good film with a bit of a difference to the usual, this is probably what you're looking for.

    I enjoyed this film the first time I watched it and I continue to every time.

    The acting is great.

  • Pus actually!

    Rated - 0.5 stars

    Isn't life beautiful? No. Yet filmmakers all over the world conspire to promulgate this flagrant lie. I had to scrape the crust off my brain at the end of this one. I'm still regenerating my mental faculties 4 years on after watching this purrulent excuse for filmmaking. How could the industry stoop this low? The male actor was a git and Kirsten Dungston is a vacuum meretriciously wrapped in skin. How dare I be expected to live in a world where people can make films as bad as this and puke actually! I bet Cliff Richard loved it.
