Wimbledon

You don't need another list of "underrated comedies" — Wimbledon in Australia on BINGE and Foxtel Now, and in the US on YouTube TV earns the label on its own. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 1,088 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Kirsten Dunst is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Available now on BINGE — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Wimbledon keeps coming up in conversation. Wimbledon gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Britain’s Peter Colt has never quite lived up to his dreams of tennis stardom. Once ranked as high as number 11 in the world, the journeyman veteran has watched his number slip to 119 as his confidence on the court slowly ebbs away. Now, on the eve of his leaving the world of professional tennis, he’s granted a wild card, allowing him to play his final Wimbledon tournament…make that his final tournament ever. Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany lead a cast that never overplays a joke. Wimbledon came out in 2004. The timing in Wimbledon is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Wimbledon. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Kirsten Dunst is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

Wimbledon was released in 2004, directed by Richard Loncraine. The full 98-minute film is available to watch now.
