"Wimbledon"




What to do when the carieer is ending inevitable and age isn't as goos as wanted? Well, some people would just let it go. Peter Colt (Paul Bettany) wants to do the same thing. Some time ago was an eleventh tennis player in the world, but now he's the 119th. What does it mean? That 118 players are stronger, faster and younger than him and this fact doesn't make Peter happy. But sometimes fate gives us a chance. For Peter this chance is a "wild card" to Wimbledon. So why not to try? He knows very well that this time he can't win anything and he wants to end his carieer in this (how important) Grand Slam tournament. Each one of English wants to see an Englishman in finals, but on the other hadn everyone knows that there's no chance for this. Hmmm... EVERYTHING CAN HAPPEN, right?
Peter Colt comes to Wimbledon and on the first day he meets beautiful and self-confident Lizzie Bradbury (Kirsten Dunst). She's young American, who comes to London for one reason: she wants to win Wimbledon. A few first matches she's doing great. What about Peter? Well, he's winning too. And that's a little surprise. Everything starts to go badly when Lizzie fells in love with Peter. She can't play as good as she can and she losts. With him is absolutely different. Love makes him better match by match, he's just playing his best (meybe even life) tournament. Than. Peter wins the semi-final game and he's going to play in the final of this Grand Slam! This is unexpected, but every English is very happy, of course. And what happens next? I'm not going to tell you - you have to see this movie on your own. The only thing I can tell is that Peter and Lizzie are together are together at the end, of course no matter what is the score of the Wimbledon.
I really liked this film when I watched it first time. And I've got w piece of advice - when you want to see it again, don't turn on the Polish text. Just listen to their language and try to hear the differences between Brish and American English. It's great to see in "Wimbledon", believe me ;)
