What a load of rubbish. I wasted a couple of hours of my life on this heap of junk and if my ticket hadn't been free as part of my membership, I would have been asking for a refund. The plot is ok and I don't blame the actors but the whole thing is predictable, repetitive and tedious. Every scene is spun out to an unnecessary length, achieving nothing except extending the boredom time and putting off the moment when you can escape. Whoever wrote the review above this, which referred to "the hottest tennis match" has no idea about tennis. The "matches" were long, uninteresting rallies where the only skill was in hitting the ball as hard as possible - no finesse, variety or strategy evident and, as a viewer, you never even got to see a ball land, so could not judge angles or pace. The "tennis" was simply a vehicle for attractive actors to spend most of the film in minimal clothing. The soundtrack is dreadful - a constant thumping like a muted jackhammer underlying and often obscuring the dialogue. Its only merit was that I wanted to know who "won". If I could give 0 I would. Awful, awful, awful.
