    Paul 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)en I felt. Unfortunately, what could have been an original film soon falls into very familiar territory and becomes a little too 'Notting Hill' for my taste.

    I 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!.

    Entertaining and clever rom-com. Priceless for any tennis fan.

    i 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.

    Sweet. I love this movie.

    Paul Bettany rule as always. I adore Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Dieter Prohl, one of good friends of Paul Bettany's character, Peter Colt.
    Kristen Dunst, James McAvoy, Sam Neill and Bernard Hill... great set of actors. I love entire story, how its con...( read more)nected with tennis and love and winning and loosing.

    Peter Colt: [he is climbing a wall to get in to Lizzie's room and a dog is barking at him] I'll jump! Do you want to have that on your conscience?
    [dog quietens]
    Peter Colt: Thank you.

    Peter Colt: [voiceover] We all start off in life with a dream, don't we? For a tennis player, it's being in the final of a Grand Slam, Centre Court, a high lob... a smash. Game, set and match. You're a champion. You're number one. But for most tennis players, that's all it ever is: a dream. The reality is another story. My story. Now, you see that good-looking fella? No, no that kid in white, the other tired good-looking fella. Yeah, him. Well, that's me. British Davis Cup, long time ago. Two singles titles, even longer ago. Presently ranked 119th in the world. Sport is cruel. I know it doesn't sound too bad: four million tennis players in the world and I'm the 119th, but what that really means is this: 118 guys out there are faster, stronger, better and younger... and it gets you thinking. These young guys: where do they get the energy, the focus? No fear. The one thing you can't have is fear, and for the first time in my life, I'm afraid. Not of losing. I'm not even afraid of the kid. I'm afraid of what happens if that ball keeps going by me. What happens than?

    Dieter Prohl: I... have a new theory of our life of tennis.
    Peter Colt: Tell me.
    Dieter Prohl: Well, it's simple, really. You... hit the ball back over the net, as hard, and as deep... and as often as possible.
    Danny Oldham: Sorry to disturb you, Peter. The Members have invite you to use the number one dressing room.
    Peter Colt: Oh, no, thank you, Danny. I think I'd rather stay here.
    Danny Oldham: Right. That's what I told 'em you'd say.
    Dieter Prohl: Good luck, my friend.
    ............................................................................................................................
    Dieter Prohl: And like all young men, he must first be taught the lesson of humility.
    ............................................................................................................................
    Lizzie Bradbury: I said I love you.
    Peter Colt: See, that's very good news. I thought I was alone in the love department.
    Lizzie Bradbury: Well, turns out you've got company.

    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...
