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.
