Format:DVD
Okay, a British romantic drama comedy, lets just make sure everything is in place; Stuttering English male lead? Check. Sexy American female lead with a strong character? Check. Quirky upper-middle class relations? Check. Obligatory scene in the grounds of Kenwood House? Check. Romantic fall-in-love/Problem/Happy-Ever-After template used? Check.
The chemistry between Dunst and Bettany is good and the Tennis scenes surprisingly gripping, everything else is pretty routine, except for the conclusion which is revoltingly sickly.

The other reviews cover the weak points and the good ones, so no point in going over them all over again: yes, this film has got flaws, but so what? It's all good, relaxing, feelgood fun which does what it sets out to do - perfect brain candy, with Paul Bettany succeeding in lifting a script and plot which might otherwise have sunk without trace. Draw the curtains, take the phone off the hook, pour a glass of wine and enjoy!

This is a film with no hidden depths. Tennis purists are unlikely to find the matches all that convincing and this may irritate. Yet I've given it four stars. I went to see this film wanting to be cheered up and to relax, not having to think too hard. It is a lighthearted romantic comedy which delivers exactly what you would expect from its genre. It is predictable and it is fun. If you want to be challenged then this is not for you. Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst are engaging with the backing of a supporting cast of quirky characters. Some of these work better than others. Overall however it is a film which presses all of the buttons you expect such a comedy to press. If you liked Love Actually or Bridget Jones or Notting Hill I'd expect you to like this. If romantic comedy isn't your thing then this isn't going to change your mind...

I love this film
I brought this for my mum for Xmas & have watched it with her, we'd both seen it already but love the film (both loving tennis & a bit of a rom com) - perfect!

good chemistry
There are many romantic comedies out there, but many disappoint. This movie is already somewhat different owing to the competitive setting of Wimbledon, but what truly makes this... Read more

Disappointing Blu-Ray version
As I already own the Wimbledom DVD and like the movie very much, and as the movie is visually attractive and fairly recent I thought that I would benefit by purchasing the Blu-Ray... Read more

What's with all the negative reviews?
What I like about this movie is the easyness and fun of watching it, especially if I feel mentally tired after a long day and am in need of a little cheerfulness. Read more

Urrgghh
I detest romantic comedies. The constitution should be amended so that freedom of expression is delimited in such a way as to preclude the making of the kind of putrid adolescent... Read more

The successful film tick sheet - it has 'em all.
This 2004 film now on DVD is a surprising and thoroughly enjoyable enigma. Having enjoyed it, I looked for the hidden meanings and depths which had made it so good but to no avail. Read more

If only rain had stopped play...and the film.
Everything about this film is sub-standard, even if you are undemanding and your standards are not too high. Read more

Fun, romantic British comedy that the missus' will love :)
Okay, so it's a bit of a chick-clic' but it is funny, it is different and it's just very easy watching. Read more

Poor serve
With its outdated snobbery and procession of forlorn hopes, British tennis is certainly ripe for satire, but Wimbledon misses every target. Read more
