Serve it with strawberries and dream on - Wimbledon review by CP Customer
So a Brit can't win Wimbledon in reality? Well let's make a film about a Brit who might win it in fiction... To buck up that British diffidence and lack of confidence, add a love interest -preferably American to maintain that special socio-financio-cultural relationship- and, well, that's it. There are some pleasurable gaffs along the way and the urban seaside cinematography is inspiring at times. Hopeless romantics will find this film endearing and is a recommended feelgood movie for them . For the rest of us, keep practising that backhand volley.

Good Feel - Wimbledon review by Peter
If you are down and need a light hearted up lifting film, this is it, good performances and good use of CGI for the matches as well.
