A very entertaining, illuminating doc about a tennis legend.

NYC Movie Guru

A conventional, mildly engaging and somewhat hagiographic documentary.

This movie was amazing, one of my best friends is actually the grandson of Stan Smith and he was in the movie, so I was one of the first people in the world to watch this movie, it was amazing and it clearly explicated the triumphs and defeats of Stan Smiths career and society itself, my favorite part was when they beat the younger double after losing earlier. This movie shows how in life good and bad things happen and it definitely deserves a five star review.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I thought it was quite engaging and informative throughout though I’m an avid tennis fan and player. There was a bit of glorifying and God status tribute towards the end but I’ll forgive it since it was a well made doc. Many know him as a shoe but I never wore his shoes or a fan of them but as a huge tennis fan and player, I know him as one of the titans of the game and a great instructor from watching his howto tennis videos.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
