The reasons to see this movie are the actors and the camera work. The story is typical, and you've probably seen it done a million other ways. However, the chemistry between Bettany and Dunst is amazing as are the camera shots.... Full review

"Wimbledon" is another one of those agreeable, English-flavored romantic comedies which in years past would have starred a stammering Hugh Grant. This time the principals are professional tennis players and the setting is Wimbledon. Paul Bettany makes for a good... Full review

Bullz-Eye.com
The biggest honor in any tennis player's career is making an appearance at Wimbledon, and while it shares the honor as the sport's World Series with three other grand slam tournaments, it is one of the most talked about sporting events of the year.
Paul Bettany steps up into leading man status as Peter Colt, a once-great British tennis star whose unimpressive 119th world ranking hasn't stopped him from receiving the wild-card entry into his final Wimbledon tournament.

The techniques he uses in Wimbledon, including fast zooms and Colts paranoid inner monologue, elevate the frequently rote rhythm of sports movies to something more tolerable.
Its capable and strong direction that hold the audience through the final match, but in the end, its Paul Bettanys world, and the rest of us are just happy to visit for an hour and a half.
