Wimbledon

Charming scene-stealer Paul Bettany (A Beautiful Mind) stars with Kirsten Dunst in this romance set during the title tennis tournament, and something is severely amiss in the pairing. It’s probably rooted in their age difference – though Dunst manages a semblance of adulthood in the Spider-Man films, most often she comes across as a giggling, jiggly member of the slumber-party set. Bettany tries to keep up by acting at least 15 years younger than he is, but it just turns the whole thing into a juvenile, junior-high drama.
