Nice to finally have this on blu-Ray. A very good cast for this film.

Charming, funny, sweet. With a great cast and feel-good story.

My entire tennis team went to watch this expecting an okay film. Although the idea was interesting and something tennis-fans and players have known well, that pro tennis can only be played until a certain age... usually up til the early thirties (Andre Agassi comes to mind), for some reason the way the movie was made did not suffice our need for entertainment. We found it boring. It was cute at times, but I thought that once the plot shifted from Bettany's overcoming his aging and playing better to Lizzie's overprotective parents and their blooming relationship, it got to be cliche. The idea itself is something that will never go away... overprotective parents... but the way the movie showed it, it didn't see deep or emotionally provocative. And the fact that the relationship caused Bettany's getting better to counter Dunst's getting worse was pretty predictable. A falling from grace man and a young rising star girl come together. You can just tell. It's hard to explain why I don't like it, because the idea is sincere and real but what was filmed seemed just superficial. Many Americans aren't too open to tennis, so I even wonder how their reactions were to this.
