Romance. Drama In just two summer weeks, a British tennis player who was ranked 119th in the world (Bettany), and generally considered to be on his last legs as a professional player, gets his one last chance to win both the All-England Lawn Tennis Championships on the grassy courts of Wimbledon... and the heart of the rising star "bad girl of tennis" (Dunst) as well...

	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"[It] has cleverer-than-average dialogue and sharply drawn subsidiary characters (...) The movie is strung with many annoying narrative tchotchkes"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The problem is that the narrative arc of an exciting Wimbledon fortnight doesn't really mesh with the lifespan of a believable love affair"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What a surprise to hear conversation instead of dialogue (...) What I mostly liked was the warmth between the two leads (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"[It is] the perfect movie for 14-year-old girls having a slumber party, and a must for everyone else to avoid."	NEG
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"In tennis parlance, this fires off more moonballs to stay in play than outright winning shots. But Bettany is charming, and thankfully he and Dunst are appealing together (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
