October 2, 2009Paul Bettany plays a likable enough character in this light romantic comedy. There's not much tennis involved considering its about two tennis players at Wimbledon, which is fine by me as I'm not the biggest tennis fan but the usually quite capable supporting cast were a bit wood...( read more)

July 22, 2009I accually really enjoyed this movie! JAME MCAVOY muahahaha! lol he was great. I really wish that Paul Bettany would do more movies. He can do romantic comedy to drama like the Davinci Code. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Sam Neil in this movie as well!.

December 20, 2007i watched this film in flashes, mostly because it wasnt interesting enough to keep me. it had some redeeming pieces to the story but ultimately it was an insignificant film with a lead female character that wasnt likeable.

David Edelstein, Slate
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

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
A standard post-Four Weddings and a Funeral British romantic comedy. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
What I mostly liked was the warmth between the two leads. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
There's nothing startlingly original in the way this plays out, but the film has a relaxed ease that's appealing. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
There's no script to speak of, just two appealing actors volleying comic-romantic cliches at each other. full review
