Wimbledon is a film released in September 2004. It is a romantic comedy about a washed-up tennis pro named Peter Colt (played by Paul Bettany) and an up and coming tennis star called Lizzie Bradbury (played by Kirsten Dunst) during the Wimbledon Championships.
The movie was partly made during the 2003 Wimbledon Championships. Shots of the actors playing tennis were made between actual games.
Critical review of the film was mostly negative, many accusing it of being derivative and drawn-out.
