02/05/2013 It's "Rocky" for the tennis courts. Ok, it's "Rocky V" for the tennis courts, but I still love this cheesy little feel good story. See more 08/02/2010 "It's Wimbledon. It's the US Open. It's when the babes start to whisper your name." The Break is my guilty pleasure. This movie is plagued with cliches, the acting is far from commendable, and you know this film's budget was low when you see its production design ... yet something about it stuck with me. And yes, I am a tennis fan. See more Read all reviews
