Author Topic: Wimbledon Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-18-2004 12:04 AM                        Attendance: 2004/09/18 19:15, Regal Hollywood 18, Huntsville, AL, Auditorum 10, Scope Even if you're not a tennis fan, you'll likely enjoy this movie, since it focuses not on tennis that much, but on the love story that develops between Peter Colt (played by Paul Bettany) and Lizzie Bradbury (played by Kirsten Duntz). It's a nice, light-hearted romantic comedy. I went into this movie knowing nothing about it (except that it was "scope" and 98 minutes long) and had no idea what to expect, since a female friend of mine wanted to see it. I went with her and two other male friends. This was in a large auditorum at Regal Hollywood 18 (40 foot screen in scope mode) and there was a large audience. The presentation quality was excellent. In short: Jolly good! I recommend it for those who like light-hearted romantic comedies!  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

But I did like the struggle of the tennis matches. The voice over was funny at parts but also at times annoying at certain scenes where it would have just been fine with silence or music.  |  IP: Logged Greg Davis Film Handler Posts: 96 From: Vista, Ca, USA Registered: Sep 2004 posted 09-18-2004 01:06 AM                     I thought it was pretty cool, but the same thing as when I saw "Eternal Sunshine," it was just me and another guy projectionist. Probably would be different if there was a female anywhere near. But who cares. we make do.  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 09-21-2004 03:31 PM                     I liked this movie, as it wasn't too long and entertaining. It also showed a bit of how a Grand Slam title is, especially Wimdeldon (NOTE: Not wimbel-TON). The tennis was very much CGI, which I really didn't like, but it was a cool little movie. 3.5/5  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 09-24-2004 09:26 AM                    I enjoyed this one. It's the same old tired romantic comedy line that's been done a thousand times before. But when the movie is done well, it's still fun to watch.  |  IP: Logged
