Peter Colt (Bettany) is a professional tennis player whose career is winding down. He is ranked #119 in the world, but that is nowhere near the #11 he was ranked in 1996. He has decided to announce he will retire after Wimbledon, in which he is a wild card. While at Wimbledon, he meets Lizzy Bradbury (Dunst), an up and coming tennis star, and a whirlwind romance begins. Of course, she has to hide this from the watchful eye of her father (Neill), who wants her focused on the task at hand. Of course, the romance lifts him up, and soon he is advancing through the tournament. But, Lizzy begins to be distracted, and her game suffers. Will things work out for the couple? What do you think? This a romantic comedy after all.

Bettany and Dunst have good chemistry together, and you do root for things to work out between them. Neill does a credible job as the father who is just looking out for his daughter's interests. The tennis matches are well crafted, employing some really cool point-of-view shots from the ball's perspective as it soars across the net. All in all, this is a really likeable movie, wheather you are looking for romance, comedy, or even a little sports.
