Romantic comedy from the makers of Notting Hill. Paul Bettany (pictured) stars as Peter Colt, the British no-hoper tennis star who was ranked 119th in the world and whose misfortune on the court is only matched by his bad luck in love. Colt is ready to retire and is on the verge of taking a coaching job when he gains a wild-card entry to Wimbledon.
On the eve of the championship, he bumps into the young brash hot-shot, American tennis star, Lizzie Bradbury (Kirsten Dunst, pictured), who is taking part in her first Wimbledon. Lizzie's controlling father Dennis Bradbury (Sam Neill) is pushing her all the way to becoming a success, but she falls for Colt, helping him regain his drive and make unprecedented progress at Wimbledon. Will Colt's good fortune hold out long enough for him to lift the prestigious trophy?
