Wimbledon Reviews
Works better as a sports movie than a love match.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 29, 2010
All in all, it's rather pleasant, but nothing else.
| Feb 9, 2006
The movie needs the stars' charm and director Richard Loncraine's polish, because the faulty script is just barely good enough to hold us for 100 minutes.

Lobs nothing but clichés.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 2, 2005
A pleasant enough entertainment at a time when movies either pleasant or entertaining are in short supply.

Bettany is charming, and thankfully he and Dunst are appealing together.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 25, 2004
Richard Loncraine's romantic fantasy, Wimbledon, is cruelly designed to make feeble-minded tennis fans go weak at the knees. As such, it works perfectly
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 23, 2004
A join-the-dots romantic comedy, Wimbledon is worth watching for the magnetism of Paul Bettany.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 21, 2004
[A] reluctant thumbs down.

Bettany and Dunst are awfully likeable, easy to root for in love and in sport.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 19, 2004
| Original Score: B- | Sep 18, 2004
No matter what genre, no matter what era, Bettany is a wonder, nailing each and every character I've had the pleasure of seeing him inhabit.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 18, 2004
Slick, satisfying entertainment.
| Sep 18, 2004
Sunny, beautiful, thoroughly English sets get this sports-romantic-comedy over the net, but a clumsy romance with flat dialogue means "Wimbledon" is far from an ace.

The best thing about all of this is Bettany.
| Sep 17, 2004
A curious hybrid of sports drama and romantic comedy, Wimbledon is a happy case of hitting the sweet spot with a good serve.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 17, 2004
This is the part that will finally make the tall, freckled Bettany a star. He's exquisitely high-strung in a way that women will find madly attractive and men madly agreeable.

Beneath the surface, the film is an empty experience.

There's no hiding a hokey love story that undercuts the picture's compelling tennis scenes.
