WIMBLEDON (2004)

RICHARD LONCRAINE

Plot

There's a really ‘important' part of me that wants to begin and end this review with "from the makers of Notting Hill, Bridget Jones and Love Actually" but my boss would call that "shirking your responsibilities", so here goes…Peter Colt is a British tennis player to whom the accolade "has never been" is well suited. Lizzie Bradbury is America's latest bright young thing, an unstoppable whirlwind on the tennis court. They meet, they flirt (charmingly), they fall in love, his tennis gets a lot better, her tennis gets a lot worse, lessons are learnt and everything ends marvellously. You can not be serious!… there's no way that's giving anything away!
