Love in tennis and outside

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2005)

I love romantic comedies, and this one went straight to the top of my list. It's the kind I can watch every weekend and not get tired, so basically, it's worth renting. Wimbledon revolves around Peter Colt, a Englishman and Lizzie Bradbury an American, who meet at the Wimbledon tennis tournament. It's the end of Peter's profession career as a tennis player, and Lizzie's on her way up. Being a romantic comedy, the movie is about how they get together. Though I don't think Kirsten Dunst ( who played Lizzie Bradbury) is a particularly good actress, the energy she added to this movie brought added just the right kick. All the scenes fit together seamlessly, it's funny and charming, and under it all it gives you a few moral lessons about family and will power. One thing that I use to judge romantic comedies by is how I feel after I watch them and this makes me leap out of my chair and be ready for whatever comes at me. This movie does not need a sequel, if the make one I will be mad.
