Film Review – Break Point

Movies about tennis are few and far between, but comedies about tennis are practically nonexistent. This gives “Break Point” something of an advantage, as it’s a perfectly pleasant and frequently funny tennis comedy with a passable handle on character. Far from profound, with a rudimentary examination of familial hostilities and arcs of redemption, “Break Point” does retain a personality thanks to its stars, who work hard, perhaps too hard, to give the effort levels of conflict and tomfoolery, diluting the picture’s programmed feel. Fans of tennis should enjoy the feature’s perspective, but the production manages to create an accessible sports comedy as well. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
