      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Once a rising-star, Peter Colt (Bettany) has never made it to the top. But while preparing to play at the famous "Wimbledon" he meets and falls in love with hot-shot player Lizzie Bradbury (Dunst). With Lizzie on his side and "love" in the air, Peter suddenly discovers that he's in top form and his game has improved so much that he just may have a shot at winning. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits pleasing image quality throughout. Colors are richly saturated and well-balanced, with fleshtones often appearing quite natural (though somewhat orange on occasion), and deep blacks. There is often a warm glow about the picture. Images are sharp and detailed, with satisfying textures and definition, though Paul Bettany

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #132 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    As an owner of Whole House Audio & Video Inc. (WHAV), I need to stay informed on the latest DVD and DVHS releases and keep an objective opinion on how well they perform. Of all the magazines and periodicals we receive, I constantly find myself reading WIDESCREEN REVIEW over all the others combined. The articles are well-written, thought-out, and accurate. I also find the Editors Couch and the equipment reviews very useful and informative. Thanks for producing a quality magazine without all the BS you find in most other publications.
