Reno Rangan This is a 45 minute mockumentary made for the television that was aired on HBO last year. Directed by a some television director, who recently made his feature film comedy, 'Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates'. It is an American film, but the story takes place in England.This is the story of two top tennis players who class for a big match that lasts for the 7 days. You heard me right, the film reveals how the game was dragged for a week and in between that, some flashback clips and interviews were attached.The film sets in the 2001, but when you look at the settings, particularly the players' appearances that gives the impression of the 70s or maybe the 80s. Whatever, it was so good, miles ahead to those real comedies from the recent time. The jokes were amazing, sometime I laughed loudly out of the control.I think they designed this story and its characters so well. The actors, totally nailed it. I usually like Andy Samberg's films and his performances, but for the first time I liked him for real. If you ask me, I would say this is his best film so far I'd seen. Sadly, it was not a theatrical film.Looks like the director aimed it for a short film, as he has made plenty of them prior to this. But I appreciated him for making it as an independent television episode with a fine length where he developed the story and its character brilliantly."This is like nothing I've ever seen. Spectacular! Absolutely spectacular!"Less than an hour, but the entire film was shot within the three days of time without compromising on the production quality. The actors too were not amateurs while displaying their sporting skills. Since it is a comedy, that could have been neglected, but really well done drafting those scenes accurately.Recently Andy Samberg did another mockumentary on the music theme called 'Popstar; Never Stop Never Stooping', but looking at this one and its success, there won't be any surprise it is going to be turned into a feature film-come-mockumentary.Of course the preference was given more to Andy's role, but Kit Harrington was equally amazing. He's in a very important role and I think between these two, it reminded me the Nadal and Federrer taking on each other.There are some guest appearances which were very crucial for this tale to narrate what it wanted to tell in the most comedic way as much as possible. So there's no way you end up unsatisfied, but you should be open minded for that.I was surprised by the overall film, Because I was not expecting it to be so smart, at a time funny as well. Definitely this film is for the grownups, because there are many adult jokes with unexpected nudities and sexes. But who cares, if you are old enough, just enjoy what it offers.From the great title to the wonderful performances to the beautiful writing, this is definitely a must see. I hope you won't miss, especially if you are a tennis fan, you would find it a lot funnier than the others. My final word is, recommended!8.5/10
Carma Simonsen Maybe it's because I'm a fan of Game of Thrones and Masters of Sex (TV Series) that I fell in love with these characters right away. All I can tell you is the previews didn't do much to entice me, but there were no new free movies available on demand at the moment, so I figured I would give it a shot. There are so many movies I start and stop, they're just too cookie- cutter boring, but this comedy was a total surprise! My husband and I were both laughing uncontrollably at times and laughed all the way through it. We especially appreciated seeing Michael Sheen play the antithesis of Dr. Bill Masters! OMG, he is a superb comedic actor! It was great fun watching the very serious John Snow (Kit Harington) play Charles Lloyd Poole, and really every cameo appearance was perfection! Bravo!!! Congrats to everyone involved in the creation and production of this piece. It will make millions laugh for many years! I'm sure I'll watch it a few times, as I have most of my other favorite comedy films.
grantss Ridiculous but funny.A "documentary" on the rivalry between and American tennis player, Aaron Williams (played by Andy Samberg), and an English tennis player, Charles Poole (Kit Harrington, of Game of Thrones fame). Focuses largely on the match where their rivalry reached a climax - Wimbledon 2001, 1st round - a match that took seven days...Just from that you'll know this is not going to be a conventional, even realistic, comedy. It is incredibly over-the-top, to good effect. Some of the scenarios are so out there you can't believe anyone ever thought of putting it into a movie. However, this is HBO...Not brilliant though. It often does rely on shock value for its laughs, and the writing does feel a bit sloppy at times.Can't fault the cast though. Samberg and Harrington are great in the lead roles. Solid support from a host of big names: Michael Sheen, Mary Steenburgen, Lena Dunham, Fred Armisen, Howie Mandel plus several stars as themselves: John McEnroe, Chris Evert, Serena Williams, David Copperfield.Outrageous fun.
dodzich This is so bad, but yet so good. I had a real blast watching this and wasn't bored for one second. The cast, cameos and the weird style just made this really interesting and worth watching. It does however feel very cheap and completely silly.If this was a full 2 hour movie i would probably have gotten tired of this stupid, over the top style comedy but in 40 minutes it works great.I would completely understand if people rate this low though because of how ridiculous, cheap, rushed, low budget and poorly made it is or whatever you wanna call it. But i for one loved it.
