Love. It's not just a tennis term.

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2006)

There are very few romantic comedies that make me feel as good, as this one does. I saw it for the first time when it first came out in the theater, back in 2004, and today was the third time I've seen it. Though I've seen it that many times, it never loses its charm or warmth, that I've always seen in it.
The thing about this movie, is that it's very professionally presented on screen. You see the career life, just as much if not more, than the romance part of these two characters' lives.
Kiresten Dunst was perfectly chosen for this part, and although, off the top of my head, I don't recall seeing Paul Bettany in any other films, I thought he did a terrific job playing his character, perhaps more so than Dunst.
The two really make you believe that they are tennis champions...and the film delivers there stardom and romance in a way that not only do you feel like you're apart of the relationship...but it also has an amazing way of making you feel like the fans and the audience watching them from a distance. It's brilliantly directed, perfectly casted, and excellently written.
It's funny, witty, light, cute, romantic and sweet. All the things that make up a terrific romance. And, this won't be the last time I see it, either.
Keep it in mind because I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
