I think this was a good movie, however, I think it was marketed in the wrong way. It was marketed to appeal to younger audiences but more mature audiences would have found the movie just as entertaining. It's a good romantic film. Bettany is a credible, untapped romantic lead. He has terrific chemistry with Dunst. He perfectly channels the self-doubting, humble, and aging tennis pro who is sensing the sun setting on his career. He is a shoo-in to be beaten in the first round of Wimbledon until he meets Dunst who inspires him to continue on and eventually win. Very, cute, charming film with a cast that makes it slightly more exceptional than most romantic movies covering this same territory.
