Review

This romantic comedy treats its subject and subjects with a dignified, playful earnestness, which makes it an enjoyable experience that transcends the genre. It's refreshing to see how the film wants to – and arguably succeeds in – making tennis and the life of pro players a little more accessible and down-to-earth than non-aficionados may have presupposed. Whatever your previous knowledge on the matter may be, the climax here from a sporting point of view does replicate a little bit of what makes tennis so exhilarating. Still, it's the wonderful, natural characters created by Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst – and the chemistry between them – which give the picture heart, warmth and a sense of purity.
