McEnroe

I watched McEnroe documentary on my sky Q yesterday and I found the documentary very interesting in John McEnroe child hood upto him becoming a great atp mens player in the 1980s and I liked the interview with Björn Borg when played McEnroe in the 1981 Wimbledon final that was amazing watching the match were Mac beat Borg in 1981 at sw19 and i enjoyed the interview were John McEnroe kids was disgusting there dad's troubled marriage to his first wife I found that very interesting and sad and I liked when patty smith aka macs 2nd wife been interviewed she was saying about her making John McEnroe change his ways from his drug addiction.

This cinematic attempt to capture the essence of Superstar John McEnroe works on so many levels that we thoroughly enjoyed almost every moment of it. John is quite candid about his evolution from a total brat during the years that he played tennis to the mature individual who he has evolved into. From his terrible tantrums to the tender moments he now shares with his extended family. His candor should be appreciated. The bonus in this film is the high quality that the cinematographer introduces. The film offers insights into one of the greatest tennis players that the United States has ever produced. John has also become one of the beat announcers for the sport. His insights and commentaries enhance all the major tennis events at so many levels. Who needs Pickleball when we John McEnroe calling tennis matches.

A story of love to life, to family, to serendipity and fortune, its love to physical activity, its a hymn of human complexity, and not to forget the love of the sport called tennis.i remember those days when borg and mcenroe battled the fields of wimbledon, the raging moments of john and the cool moments of bjørn borg, that drew even me to an open asfalt field with imaginary nets and lines sleizing the ball with my slezinger bat, gee those where the days of glory.

A very well made production, an original take on strolling through new york in the midst of the darkest hours of the day along with john m., a very humanized mcenroe makes the world so much more sympathetic, so if you love tennis, have a look at this documentary.well made and thank you john for all you gave to us back then.

This documentary is basically an excuse for the lack of a human being that John McEnroe was. It wants you to understand what a tortured crumb of a person he was, so in the light of history, McEnroe can seem like he is less of a turd.

Having grown up during his era of rudeness and nastiness to everyone that he felt was under him, I can say this guy is despicable. McEnroe kicked every little person all the way to the top, and then kicked them some more. He was and is a vile human being, and he has spent his retirement years trying to retroactively clean up his reputation.

McEnroe had no love, compassion, or respect for anyone. This documentary should have interviewed the hundreds of people that he humiliated and abused during his career and afterwards. Where are their insights into the sub-human that is John McEnroe??

When I was a a kid I thought he was the brat that the media labelled him - and he was! This documentary is narrated by the John that grew up and could look back and see himself as others saw him. He was a brilliant tennis player but he was a BRAT. When I watch tennis now I always hope he will be a guest pundit because he's not a brat that didn't learn how to be a person. He's very funny and self-deprecating now because he no longer has to prove himself. I wanted him to lose when I was a kid and now I'm glad he became a great champion - I'm guessing we both grew over time and we see life in the bigger picture!
