Love for losers
WIMBLEDON Cert. 12A
Wimbledon, a sporting romantic comedy, stars Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst as tennis players aspiring to glory at the eponymous championships.
However, while Dunst's character is a young American among the favourites for the women's championship, Bettany plays the part of Peter Colt, an ageing Brit with a low ranking, fitness levels which are alarmingly poor for a professional sportsman, and apparently little chance of progressing beyond the first round.
As one would expect of a film such as this, the two meet and fall in love. This heralds a phenomenal change in Colt's game, transforming him from a useless outsider into some kind of unstoppable tennis genius.
