Tennis, Love and Blonde Hair.

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2013)

Paul Bethany steals the show with his charm, wit and dashing smile. His co-star Kirsten Dunst delivers, as always, but will not be remembered for this fairly unremarkable role. The two actors have a surprising chemistry, and appear very relatable. They are average actors; blonde, young and normal, and pull off the athlete status with grace.
Though classified as a romantic comedy, the love story between the two tennis players was not what kept me watching. Instead, Wimbledon is driven by Bethany's character Peter, and his last chance at a successful career. Suspense is gradually built, keeping one wondering if Peter can really pull the whole thing off, until one is on the edge of their seat by the end. Though a fairly predictable love story, it works for the film and gives the viewer a secondary story to root for if the tennis is not enough. Neither could stand alone, and thus complement each other and serve the film well. With a perfect balance of sports and love, Wimbledon will keep any viewer enthralled.
