Wimbledon (12A) 98 mins"She's the golden girl. He's the longshot. It's a match made in..."
Richard Loncraine's romantic comedy stars Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst as two tennis professionals at opposite ends of their career. Peter Colt (Bettany) has lost his ambition and is ranked 119th worldwide. He finds inspiration in the form of Lizzie Bradbury (Dunst), a rising American tennis player who restores his drive and helps him work toward winning the final title of his career. Bettany is a familiar face from films like A Beautiful Mind and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. His manner is a lot like that of Colin Firth: reserved and humble. It's part of his charm. Dunst, on the other hand, is known world-wide as Spider-Man's Mary Jane. It's to her credit that she sheds the superhero's girlfriend image immediately. She becomes Lizzie, and her natural high level of energy shines through. She's as bouncy and lively as anyone this side of Reese Witherspoon.
"The film has heart and spirit, and it does a lot of things well" James Berardinelli.
