bad fake tennis, same old shitty romance story. damn paul bettany, stop with these shitfests.
A quaint and stylish film about tennis! I probably liked it a lot because I love the sport. Or maybe I just fancy Kirsten Dunst. Notice how I cheekily inserted words of a British nature into this review? Cheerio!
one of a handful of chick flicks I really like. Kirsten Dunst is actually pretty palatable in this one, too -- inconceivable as that sounds.
How can you score even one point with such a loser attitude (like Paul Bettany) let alone win Wimbledon??

Oh, I forgot: Wimbledon is not about tennis, it's about two tennis players finding the way to each other....Not considering this, the film is watchable, James McAvoy is the best. Very good camera work and nice editing.
Wimbledon ei yletä tekijätiiminsä aikaisempien elokuvien ( Love Actually) tasolle. Elokuva onnistuu silti olemaan viihdyttävä romanttinen komedia, vaikkakin on hyvin ennalta arvattava ja osittain äärimmäisen kliseinen. Se on myös taidokas ur...

Elokuva onnistuu silti olemaan viihdyttävä romanttinen komedia, vaikkakin on hyvin ennalta arvattava ja osittain äärimmäisen kliseinen. Se on myös taidokas urheiluelokuva, ja nuo tennisottelut ovatkin äärimmäisen hyvin toteutettuja sekä ohjattuja.
Formula sports movie meets formula romance. Two leads give off much charm but would have worked just as well if it weren't a romance at all.
I liked this movie, maybe because I really like tennis. Paul Bettany is such a good actor, and Kirsten Dunts (well, I love her <3), and there was good chemistry between them two. Not that predictable as it seems to be in the end.
Critic Reviews
This is the part that will finally make the tall, freckled Bettany a star. He's exquisitely high-strung in a way that women will find madly attractive and men madly agreeable.full review
A standard post-Four Weddings and a Funeral British romantic comedy.full review
What I mostly liked was the warmth between the two leads.full review
There's nothing startlingly original in the way this plays out, but the film has a relaxed ease that's appealing.full review
There's no script to speak of, just two appealing actors volleying comic-romantic cliches at each other.full review
