Wimbledon/Love Actuallyon DVD

Synopsis : Double bill of British romantic comedies. Wimbledon (2004) is a British romantic comedy about a washed-up tennis player who scores a wildcard entry to the Wimbledon championship and finds his game reinvigorated after meeting one of the top American female stars. Richard Loncraine directs Paul Bettany as Peter Colt, a once great British player who is sliding further down the world ranking every year. Once ranked 11th he is now placed at 113th and it seems as if his career has come to an inglorious end. Winning a wildcard entry to the Wimbledon tournament seems like Peter's last chance, although when he accidentally stumbles into the hotel room of Lizzie Bradbury (Kirsten Dunst), a rising star in the women's game, he finds his luck beginning to change. In 'Love Actually' (2003) eight stories involving the love lives of more than a dozen characters are brought together over one Christmas, climaxing on Christmas Eve; from the recent widower Daniel (Liam Neeson), the failing marriage of Karen (Emma Thompson) and Harry (Alan Rickman), the aging rocker (Bill Nighy) who just wants to get paid (and laid if possible), through to the Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) falling for a member of Number 10's staff (Martine McCutcheon). The film was another box-office success for the filmmakers and stars a host of British talent and celebrities.
