Overview

Britain’s Peter Colt has never quite lived up to his dreams of tennis stardom. Once ranked as high as number 11 in the world, the journeyman veteran has watched his number slip to 119 as his confidence on the court slowly ebbs away.  Now, on the eve of his leaving the world of professional tennis, he’s granted a wild card, allowing him to play his final Wimbledon tournament…make that his final tournament ever.

Viewing Notes

Has it really been 11 years since this came out? Wow. I’d caught this one when it first came out on DVD and I’m pretty sure I own it, but again, having something on in the cabin while you’re getting ready for dinner or lunch or whatever is fun and it was a nice break from MASH which was what we watched otherwise.

Loved the cast in this. It’s a fun romantic comedy and drama and Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst have this fun vibe going for them. Loved that they didn’t bother to film actual tennis matches and cg’d the balls in later to simply keep things moving along.
