| Popular stars Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst team to serve up this romantic drama that takes place at the Wimbledon tennis tournament.
Paul plays Peter Colt, a great tennis player at the twilight of his career. He slipped from ranking #11 worldwide to #119 and developed a reputation for falling apart and choking. He gets a final chance to regain his fame by winning a wild card slot for the big tournament. After he accidentally runs into a promising young tennis star from America, Lizzie Bradbury (Dunst), he is renewed and begins to win like a champ.
A great supporting cast includes one of my favorite actors, Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) who plays Lizzy's father. Will Paul do well at Wimbledon, will he get the girl, or will the pressure of the game tear them apart. Guess you will have to see the film to see how it all playous out. You will find out it is an evening well spent.
I especially enjoyed the scenery in England and the atmosphere around Wimbledon. |
