 It's ok. I'd give it 2.5 stars. July 7, 2007
Having read the book, I was really eager to watch the film, but was very disappointed with it. Huge chunks of the book are missing. Kitty is really strange- she's easily vexed and doesn't look anything like the innocent one portrayed in the book. Rannaldini looks and behaves in a slightly effeminate manner. He's supposed to be quite macho! Lysander wasn't stunningly gorgeous- he's adequate. Guy was hideous!!! Georgie and Guy were supposed to be beautiful, but they look awful in the film, especially Guy! There is nothing about Rupert and Taggie, and Natasha doesn't even exist. Flora looks a bit too old to be a school girl, and David Hawley has a shock of white hair! The acting is a bit stiff, the story a bit slow, the tennis match looked more like tennis for beginners, the Valhalla concert like a school play, and the film overall simply doesn't do Copper's book and justice.
Good points: The introduction is quite sexy, and the music played when Rannaldini first arrives in his Mercedes is fitting (excellent).
Poor... March 15, 2005

As with the film adaptation of Jilly Cooper's 'Riders', compared to the book this is absolutely atrocious. Characters are flat and poorly acted and the whole thing has a horribly cheap low budget, dated feel to it. However, ignoring the book - which is easy to do because at times it bares very little resemblence to it - its sort of watchable...once and never again.
 Dated film but worth a watch September 22, 2004

This film was for the girlies out there really. The story line was a little repeatitive and a little dull in places. The story goes: One aspiring tennis player downed by his father as the black sheep of the family, who is hugely in debt needs to make some money. His friend and flatmate suggests he puts his talents with the women to work to make him some money. A husband and wife are in loveless relationship, husband is having an affair and wife is bought in on this idea by the tennis player and his friend. Whilst the idea works, it isn't a thrilling video to watch. Lovely country scenery, love and romance all play a part of it ... so if you have one evening when you are bored pop this DVD on and waste some time away. Worth a watch once.
