Strawberries & Cream

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2004)

You might think the English "Club" characters in this movie are over-done, a joke. I can tell you, they are not.
I've been going to the Wimbledon tournament since 1963 and I've played there three times, though never in the Open Championship nor on the Show Coursts.
This movie is light, funny, warming and charms one without sentimentality. If you want tough realism, try elsewhere, but a simple well acted romantic comedy is what this is. Paul Bettany practised for six months for this part and would fool most non tennis players. Kirsten Dunst doesn't need to fool anybody - she's a willowy, dimpled cutie when she's happy but a dour sour-face if she feels wronged.
