Shallow & Predictable Love Story Pushes Tennis Aside

Rating: 5/10 (10 January 2011)

I'm a dude, but I can genuinely appreciate "chick flicks"...if they have some originality and/or creativity. Wimbledon is predictable and really doesn't veer off the path of this type of drama. The plot is shallow & the characters are one dimensional. I never really believed Kirsten Dunst's character really wanted Paul Bettany's. I felt like a possible redeeming quality (especially for a guy) could be the competition & action of the tennis matches, but I felt like the entire idea of Wimbledon & tennis was very secondary to the love story they were trying to tell. Also, the final match was drawn out way too long with way too much build up for the less important matches. "Chicks" will probably be all over this movie, though.
