Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member "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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
