Critics Consensus

Like an old pro playing an outmatched opponent, Break Point scores some solid points -- even if it never bothers to break a sweat along the way.

Collider

It's really too bad that the visuals are so distracting because otherwise, Break Point is a highly enjoyable film.

"Break Point" looks good, and it has a big serve, but it's hard to love wholeheartedly.

Rated: 2/5

It's a mild-mannered film, strange considering the ferocious nature of tennis itself, the sport that supposedly holds "Break Point" together.

Rated: 2/4

Behind The Lens

But it's Joshua Rush as Barry who steals the entire film, and your heart, and never more so than in the third act going toe-to-toe with [Jeremy] Sisto...much of the story and the humor falls on Rush's capable shoulders and he never drops the ball.

Christianity Today

The adult-child interactions are the best parts, and it is surprisingly sweet for the eighty percent that is not needlessly crass.

Break Point has its moments. It's passable, light entertainment, but ultimately comes up short when reaching for deeper comedic or dramatic flair.

Rated: 6.1/10

This tennis movie with brothers that need a mended relationship serves up some decent drama and laughs - but plays it pretty safe.

Breakpoint is Somewhat entertaining with a good story about brotherly love at all but overall the movie is pretty predictable and forgettable. It had some mild chuckles but the film never goes far enough to truly make you laugh. It’s an OK forgettable comedy.

Decently funny movie about brothers who reconnect on the tennis court. Don't really need to a be tennis fan to enjoy, I would recommend for some laughs.

This movie is pretty funny with an interesting and quirky cast. Only watch this if you can stand to spend a lot of time watching tennis matches.
