It is a film that embodies the story of Peter who fell near the bottom of the world tennis ranks, but it seems that he does not find love despite always doing his best everywhere. Fortunately for him, this young man meets a young female athlete in the women's circuit, which helped him regain his focus and enter various championships.
Do we really need to see another film where a gorgeous, talented and desired American woman is whisked away by a stammering insecure British man with an inner monologue?
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.

You aren't likely to see a film with more warmth and good humor anytime soon, or one that does more to give feel good filmmaking a good name.
The story plays out predictably with a happy ending -- think The Natural on Wimbledon's Centre Court -- and all in all, it's a decent romantic comedy.
