Tim M @tgmacman Jun 16 Wimbledon bats a lame conflict back and forth for too long, but remains an endearing sports romcom all the same. See more Thomas W @AHTRAU Dec 21 I'm not sure what some of these reviewers were expecting of this movie, as it's not a biopic, but many of the negative reviews don't match with my expectations or experiences watching this over the years. It's a lighthearted romcom, nothing more nothing less. If you're looking for something serious, dark, brooding, this isn't what you're looking for. If you want a good cry go watch Me Before You. This story is solid start to finish, the characters are fleshed out, and the actors are wonderfully present in their roles. I gave it a four star rating, as it met or was slightly above expectations, but didn't blow me or my wife out of our seats. It is however one you walk away from with a good feeling inside.

A real feel good story that you can watch on repeat. Great characters, a great story and great writing and Paul Bettany is brilliant. One of my all time favourite romantic comedies. See more Jack L @RT22102532 Jul 14 Wimbledon is a traditional romcom with a fun and unique setting in the world of professional tennis. Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst have great chemistry, and Jon Favreau steals every scene as Bettany’s fast-talking agent. Though the story is highly predictable, it’s still a charming and enjoyable watch. See more James M @RT45758455 10/05/2024 This is my first review on this site and it's long overdue. Heads up, I'm a little bias and reviews are entirely subjective, so don't go expecting anything professional; what I love may not be for you and vise-versa... With that said: *Rom coms are my favourite genre* They're easy to watch, fun, and end happily. I'm thirty-two now and I still find so much comfort and joy in watching a good old fashioned rom com than I do in watching the most recent Marvel film or high budget action thriller. With that said, Wimbledon is my favourite rom com, and my second favourite film... But why? *I love tennis, but I'm not sure that's enough* Having a general interest in the sport they're playing in the movie certainly doesn't put me off. But I also like Draft Day, a movie about American football. So, maybe the sport wasn't that much of a dealbreaker? *It's quintessentially English* The setting is nostalgic. Being English myself means that every building, road, bus, and sign are all familiar to me. I'm at home in this movie. It's a comfy film in a comfy genre with a comfy setting. The language, mannerisms, humour, and character behaviours are all as English as it gets, and it never fails to make me laugh or smile, even twenty years later... But that can't just be it, or Notting Hill, Love Actually, or About Time would be my Number One. They are, after all, objectively better rated movies... So, why does Wimbledon take the top spot in my heart? You know when a movie just scratches that itch? It has the story and the drama to keep you engaged, sure - but it also has lovable, rememberable, and funny characters who seem sincere and *real* Well, that's Wimbledon. It's a cliched love story that takes place over a few days and ultimately ends happily ever after, while having all the toppings of a quintessentially English framework with my favourite sport to boot. I watched this first when I was thirteen (and most recently a few minutes ago which is why I'm here), and thinking deeper on it, the movie was made for someone like me - I was its target audience: A young boy who believed in love and wanted to one day win Wimbledon and make my country and family proud. I managed most of that, but Wimbledon will sadly stay unticked on my to-do list... Ultimately, for me this movie has always deserved a 5/5 rating. It my not be for you and that's fine. But I adore this movie and the characters within it. I wanted to show it, and the actors and crew, some sincere and long overdue love for a movie I've seen a few dozen times over the years and will continue to enjoy for years to come.
