Wimbledon (2004)
Cast: Kirsten Dunst (Lizzie Bradbury), Paul Bettany (Peter Colt)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Wimbledon page.
I'm not at all a fan of tennis or Wimbledon in real life, but I really like Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany, so I had to see Wimbledon. And, I loved it. From the moment the opening credits (which are brilliant) started, I loved the movie.
Richard Loncraine directed this movie by Richard Loncraine, Jennifer Flackett, & Mark Levin wonderfully and all the creators got me caring about tennis. The cinematography was amazing. The way everything was edited together really made an emotional impact.
This is definitely a movie we will own. It's a fun romantic comedy that made tennis look interesting. Not an easy thing to accomplish.
