Great feel good movie

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2004)

In today's cinema fare it seems many people are interested only in movies that have a lot of CGI effects, plenty of sex, or lots of explosions and violence. In an age where this country has seen the likes of 9/11 and where death appears everywhere from the TV to the newspaper to magazines, this movie arises out of the ashes to bring some hope, happiness, and smiles to one's face while watching it.
Sure, this movie is a formula movie that came from Hollywood, much of it being predictable, but seeing that sequels and re-makes are dominating Hollywood these days, this movie provided what I was seeking, a good heart-felt movie.
Kirsten Dunce and Paul Bettany had some excellent cinematic moments during this movie and I thought some of the camera angles were really fascinating to watch as it followed the ball on the court. While I'm not a huge tennis fan, I do pick up the racquet every now and then but having said that, I didn't find it necessary to love the game to watch and enjoy this movie.
If you want to smile, feel good about life, and possibly yourself, check out this movie. I give it 3 out of 4 stars and will be adding it to my collection of must-buy DVD's when it's released in the future.
