Surprised us. Like "Caddy Shack" except it's tennis, and not quite as brilliantly zany. But it's well written, and clever. Just when you're thinking "oh, so cliche" , the film pulls the rug from under your feet. Some of the jokes are so sly, the delivery so wry, the jokes can be easy to overlook. But pay attention because it's hilarious. Definitely worth watching.

I will forever doubt the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes because of this movie. It seems like the perfect setup for a fun, campy comedy- but it failed in every respect. First, the thrown off a reality show bit was completely unneeded and poorly done. And the rest was so un-funny I felt robbed of the $4 I spent on Amazon to watch it… well, 3/4 of it. It was truly too terrible to finish.

Very funny story of a woman who overcomes a disaster on a reality TV show to find self redemption in her career and on the tennis court. I like that she doesn't need romance to fulfill her life. Not very realistic but many laughs and overall very satisfing

'First One In' contains dry humour, relatable characters, and a very excellent ensemble cast... Come for the laughter, stay for the competition, camaraderie, and friendship.

Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam

An over-the-top and incredibly fun film as it exemplifies women's relationships, our competitiveness, and the importance of friendship all within the sport of tennis.

I loved every minute of the chaos and turmoil which doesn't take itself seriously, yet finds a way to pull at your heartstrings and remind us to lift one another.

A laugh out out loud funny movie filled with great characters. The jokes keep on flying which may annoy some, but the laughs and heart are there.
