I kept hearing this was the greatest match ever played. Now I agree. So fun to see this classic match, though I was disappointed it wasn't U.S. sportscasters commentating and the camera angles shortened the court. They also don't do instant replays I'm accustomed to with matches I watch on ESPN or the Tennis Channel. Still, fabulous to see this match between 2 tennis greats.

Kirsten Dunst is one of my favorite actresses in young Hollywood. She is spunky, charming, beautiful, quirky, engaging and just all around delightful. She is like a sunnier Claire Danes to me (both are horribly underrated as actresses). I'll pretty much watch her in anything.

Paul Bettany is one of those actors who has garnered a huge fan base even if he has yet to really break out into the mainstream. He has graced quite a few great films, and has proven to be a steady and in-depth supporting actor, delivering great comic relief (`A Knights Tale'), supportive reliability (`A Beautiful Mind', `Master and Commander') and even disturbing romantic tension (`Dogville'). He is, in a word, brilliant.

Both of these actors are far better than `Wimbledon'.

This is not a bad film, at all, but it is not a great one either. It misses a lot of opportunities to give us something special, especially with the cast it has. It offers us nothing new, and the storyline is so predictable and clich��� ridden that it is really a very unnecessary film. The one highlight here is the delightful performances by the two leads. Dunst and Bettany are stunning together and really elevate this `been-there-done-that' tale of two star-crossed lovers.

Bettany plays Peter Colt, a one time tennis champ (11th in the world) who has had a long string of bad luck leaving him ranking in the triple digits. Lizzie Bradbury (Dunst) is a young and vibrant player who is doing remarkably well. When all feels lost, Colt meets and falls for Bradbury. As to be expected, his game improves thanks their love affair while hers suffers.

The film is funny and it has charm, thanks to the impressive cast. Bettany and Dunst are not the only noteworthy actors here. Sam Neill proves yet again that he is criminally underused in Hollywood, and the young (and now extremely adored) James McAvoy makes a really nice addition to the cast, proving why he is on the cuffs of major stardom. I enjoyed this film, and I'm sure that you will too. I just wish that it could have broken out of the conventional romantic comedy mold. I wish that the script could have had the same spice and texture that the lead actors brought to their roles.

If this had stared two actors less competent and engaging I would have given this a C+, but the chemistry between the two leads alone brings my grade up to a B. There are much better rom-com's out there, but even some better films lack the lovable chemistry this film oozes.
