A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This was a pleasant surprise. Before watching this I had never heard of it. There are a ton of LOL moments. The humor is juvenile, just how I like it. If you didn't find this funny you need to loosen up. I only wish it was longer. It was nice seeing Kit in a comedy. When the camera panned down in the underwear scene...

I'm sorry but I couldn't watch more than 30 minutes.Who wrote and who approved this script? I'm guessing its some kind of 'lad' humour and perhaps they think this is elevated 'Benny Hill' but it makes Benny Hill look tasteful.Did none of the humans who lent their name to this (Chris Evert or John McEnroe) read the script? or were they happy that anybody attempted a comedy about tennis?I'd be the first to think 'mammas boys' are funny but how did you manage to make him so dull? It was an achievement.Did nobody have the judgement to say 'the emperor has no clothes' and that this is a steaming pile of the worst writing.All this summer there has been nothing zero zilch nada niente to see in the cinema because not a decent script to be had (save 'Homes'). Even the Jurassic Park reworking of the same script was more watchable (although I hated paying to watch a film I had already at home).I'm better off watching a Ken Burns documentary than imagining there will be decent comedy / drama produced.

As much as I've always liked Andy Samberg, I was left wondering just why he chose this as a project. Forty minutes go by with very little continuity and (it appeared) no script. The whole thing seemed to be rushed and off the cuff and looked as though they completed it in about two-three days, and I don't think I laughed once. Even the co-stars (Howie Mandel, Mary Steenbergen, June Squibb, etc.) seemed wasted and their characterizations were tired and not particularly original. I think HBO has put out some incredible programming in the last few years but am wondering why they backed this, as it seems completely mediocre with no real point. Let's hope Samberg finds better projects in the future, he's way too good to be putting out stuff like this.

So as a tennis fan myself I wasn't sure what to expect from a documentary style parody. With some good actors and tennis stars I was hoping for it to be worth my time. Andy Samberg was especially really funny, as were all the actors. The whole way through I was laughing, there are some weird moments which shouldn't put you of as this is a very different but hilarious 40 minutes that will be worth your time. If your looking for a comedy which is different and unique then this will be for you as this is not serious at all. It is very hard to make a parody of something really funny as I have watched a few in the past and they have been very poor but this one was very funny. I recommend to everyone, even people who don't enjoy sport will enjoy it.
