Synopsis
"WIMBLEDON" follows Peter Colt (Paul Bettany) - an unlucky guy, scoring "love" both professionally and personally. Seeded near the bottom of the world tennis ranks, he manages to score a wild card, allowing him to play in the prestigious Wimbledon tournament. There, he meets and falls in love with American tennis star Lizzie Bradbury (Kirsten Dunst).
Fueled by a mixture of his newfound luck, love and on-court prowess, Peter works his way up the ranks of the tournament players and actually stands a chance of fulfilling his lifelong dream of winning the men's singles title--if his luck can just hold out.

Trailer Here (http://www.themoviebox.net/movies/2004/STUVWXYZ/Wimbledon/trailer-page.html)
Love and Tennis... a fine match. :roll:
Well they did find the one sport never matched up with a romance plot. To bad they never considered why no one's done it before. Sport'n'love movies have been done to death, shuffling the games around probably won't make a difference, though the trailer makes it look like the movie offers some serious tennis-action :roll:
But, hey, Jon Favreau and Sam Neill are always welcome.
I'm looking forward to this.
Nice poster...

The poster smacks of whiteness.
indeed :wink:
I thought it was terrific. Paul Bettany is great as always and he's a really good pair with Kirsten Dunst.
