Poor and Lacking Storyline

Rating: 2/10 (3 October 2004)

I think that this film lacked what it needed to really make a great film. Perhaps this is because I am not keen on watching sport itself. Most of the story focuses on Wimbledon, and there is a love story weaved into this. I'm not a fan of either genre, and I didn't have any expectations. I think the film lacks overall emotion, conflict, and storyline direction. This is not saying that the director went wrong or the actors/actresses could not act. I feel that the majority of the problem lay within the script itself. I could not place myself in the characters' shoes, and the conflicts that did occur throughout seemed to be played down (the parents, father figure, American tennis player who went to the finals). There were a couple of funny bits, but nothing is really memorable. Below average: rated 2 out of 10.
