Rating: 9/10 (23 August 2006)

Paul Bettany in white shorts, Kirsten Dunst in the shower, two gorgeous leads falling for each other, an underdog winning...whats not to like? Wimbledon has had accusations of being lazy, stealing from other plots etc, yeah so its a 'paint-by-numbers' romantic comedy that seems repetitive, because well, it is. Its comforting, its familiar, safe territory that we all enjoy. Wimbledon doesn't claim to be a ground-breaking new film, a daring motion picture to break records, its just a really nice, decent film with two actors enjoying the chemistry they have on screen. So those critics who think Wimbledon is a predictable yawn with no imagination? Think again. I for one am content with this 'crowd pleasing' romcom that had me rooting for it from the beginning.
