Product Description
Synopsis
Richard Loncraine's WIMBLEDON is a lighthearted romantic comedy set in the high-pressure world of professional tennis. Peter Colt (Paul Bettany) is a 31-year-old Englishman who was once ranked 11th in the world, but has now dropped to a pathetic 119th. Realising that his days are numbered, Peter intends to retire from the game after playing in one final Wimbledon. But when he accidentally walks into the hotel room of rising American star Lizzie Bradbury (Kirsten Dunst), sparks begin to fly and Peter begins to find his touch on the court once again. Unfortunately for Peter, Lizzie's overbearing father, Dennis (Sam Neill), is well aware that Lizzie's game suffers when she is distracted by love, and he bans the two from seeing each other. This doesn't bode well for Peter, who is about to play in the final against cocky American superstar Jake Hammond (Austin Nichols). Not to mention the fact that Peter has the hopes of an entire nation riding on his shoulders. Loncraine's breezy comedy is fuelled by the chemistry between Bettany and Dunst, and also features several memorable supporting characters--including Peter's bickering parents (Bernard Hill and Eleanor Bron), his goofy brother (James McAvory), his practice partner (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), and his cell phone-wielding agent (Jon Favreau).

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite worthy of the show courts, more like Court 2, 15 Jul 2005
Simply using the Wimbledon tennis courts as a backdrop for another romantic comedy. However, tennis fans should make the most of it for it's probably the closest they'll ever see to a British player winning the tournament. Enjoyable while it lasted but easily forgettable.

4.0 out of 5 stars A reasonable film, 22 Feb 2005
By A Customer
Wimbledon was one of the less 'looked forward' to films of 2004. Wimbledon proved its self as a film that had more to it than expected. I didn't feel there was a good chance of real suspence and romance in a tennis match but I was wrong. Wimbledon somehow pulls it's self off quite well. Dunst perfoms admirably giving the protagonist some sort of memorable feel to him. All in all not a bad film, though I feel it won't reach the great heights of some of the other film of 2004.
