Despite the fact I know nothing about tennis, I thought that it was a good storyline for a rom com. The film focuses tennis pro named Peter Colt (Paul Bettany), who has dropped from ranked 11th in the world to 119th, and his relationship with a rising tennis star named Lizzie Bradbury (Kirsten Dunst) during the Wimbledon Championships. Some bits were predictable but there were enough twists along the way to keep it interesting to watch. I really enjoyed the film, but it's not one that I would have gone to see at the cinema.
