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)
