In reclaiming his sense of self, he must confront his mortal enemy in comedy and in the world of celebrity tennis: Johnny Green. [More]

Reviews for Tennis, Anyone...?
A comedy so unfunny that its biggest laugh comes when an actor (for the second time) takes a tennis ball to the groin.
The question the filmmaker is asking, perhaps of himself, is a legitimate one: How worthy is a life that consists of nondescript supporting film roles, a lousy TV show and a string of failed relationships?
The movie isn't deeply about anything, even including tennis, though it has a smartly rancid skill in spearing phonies.
If you’re a fan of the actors, it’s worthwhile, but there’s nothing much else to it.
It's saved from being too weird by the always charming Logue as well as hysterical performances by Stephen Dorff as a fakey country singer and Paul Rudd and Henry Thomas as over the top porn stars.
