What to Know

Critics Consensus

A predictable, bland rom-com, but Bettany proves to be an appealing lead.

Finn S Feb 12, 2018 great cast and alot of charm
Finn R Sep 29, 2017 Watched it more than once.
Albus W Jul 18, 2017 To be honest I was shocked when I found out this low rate for this movie however I'm finding it definitely worthies higher rate, a movie in the category of light romance within Wimbledon tennis tournament, the performance of all acting team was very good working with the purpose of the movie, the chemistry between Bettany and Dunst was impressive, the scenario is founded well and coherent structure, the interactions between the story characters is studied well, the direction was impressive as well beside the direction of photography especially in tennis matches scenes, some light comedy sketches from Bettany and his brother McAvoy beside Jon Favreau, generally the movie isn't one of greatest light romance movies but it worthy to watch with your partner in lovely night.

George S Apr 16, 2017 Nothing special but a good romantic comedy with lots of chemistry and English accents.
