    A great pity.

    Vincent Van Patten was one of the most gifted tennis players I have seen in 40 years watching the sport. His part time (yes part time) tennis career included a tournament win, early 20s in the world ranking and two or three important doubles titles with very limited professional tennis tuition. He even beat McEnroe once, was a consummate athlete and had remarkably quick hands at the net. He should have applied his quick hands to the script and some of the amateurish tennis involved in this considerably disappointing film.

    Its a hotchpotch of what I assume he wanted to film and what movie conventions made him film. This was an opportunity for the average film viewer to understand the personal physical and mental pressures associated with being a day in day out quality performer in an individual's game. The film abdicates any educational purpose and hails convention and even the tennis filming is not up to much.

    a minor correction for the above

    I am Cuz, the author of the first comment. Haven't been on here for a while, changed computers, providers and all that. Anyway, I wanted to correct one detail I had wrong. Tennis officials do indeed call "fault" when a serve is missed. However, they also call "fault" on the second serve and not "double fault" as they do in this movie. I guess the writers didn't figure it mattered to the non-tennis- playing audience and maybe the "double fault" was added to make it more dramatic, and to make the umpire appear even more biased. The action isn't bad overall. Wimbledon may have tried hard to create realistic game scenes but they didn't really improve on The Break. Paul Bettany often looks like he's playing squash or trying to swat flies.

    Cliché everywhere... and with technical mistakes too...

    Well, the film was relaxing to watch of course but in the end the viewer is bound to get tired of all the clichés in the story. All the characters, the words they speak and the things they do are utterly predictable and unimaginative. The screenplay is poorly written and the acting is not upto the mark either.

    But the most irritating thing is perhaps the technical mistakes about the game of tennis. In this film the umpires call out "double fault", serves are called out by umpires, not linespeople, the deciding last set is played with tie-breakers etc. Why should a film about tennis contain such errors about the game? At least show the facts right!

    I really like this movie

    I caught The Break on cable one night back in the late 1990's and it became a favorite of mine; a movie I recorded and watch every once in a while for a good story and a good laugh. I will admit that the acting might not be Oscar material (whatever that means) and the plot might be somewhat predictable. However, the relationship between Nick and Joel is really enjoyable to watch evolve (at times the movie reminded me a little bit of a cross between two great sports movies: "Hoosiers" and "Rudy") and there are certain parts of the movie that still make my wife and me laugh out loud. I cannot think of much bad to say about The Break - I highly recommend that anyone who likes movies about sports that are both funny and, dare I say, uplifting, should watch the Break if they can find it, and finding it is not easy.

    A drama of double faults & unforced errors

    There's a scene in "The Break" where the tennis coach picks up his protege's racquet in the middle of a match and says, "the strings are loose." Any player who was competing in a nationally-televised match would have had his racquets re-strung before hitting the court. What makes this surprising is that the coach is played by former pro tennis player (and once in the top 40 in the world, at that) Vince Van Patten. He co-wrote the movie, so he should have known better. Such errors occur frequently in "The Break". Chair umpires call out "fault" and "double fault". Real-life umpires don't...linespeople call "out" when a serve is missed. Perhaps these concessions were made to help explain the game to non-tennis players. I kept waiting for a disclaimer to appear on screen saying, "the object of the game is to hit the ball between the white lines..." If you're not a tennis buff, all you're left with is a ho-hum drama featuring every sports film cliche from "The Bad News Bears", "The Karate Kid" and "Rocky". Let's see. There's Joel, the naive young player. Joel's tough-talking father (Martin Sheen) wants him to quit tennis and take over the family business. Van Patten plays a washed-up former tennis star, and Gerritt Graham is on hand as the arrogant opposing coach who isn't averse to bending the rules. Even the female characters are walking cliches. Rae Dawn Chong represents the bad relationship from the coach's past, and Valerie Perrine plays a sexpot (what a shocker!). There's also an awkward subplot involving a tournament referee with an unsettling attraction to the young players. I bet real-life officials were thrilled when they saw that! Having said all that, you still find yourself rooting for Joel. He survives an irresponsible and uncommitted coach (who, you can bet, will be there for Joel at the end), biased officiating and numerous other setbacks to make it to the finals against his nemesis. Guess what? This player trounced Joel the last time they met. ESPN tennis commentators Fred Stolle and Cliff Drysdale play themselves. By the end of the telecast, Stolle has fallen asleep at the microphone. Unless you're a diehard tennis fan, you may find yourself doing the same thing.

      As shot, announcers Cliff Drysdale and Fred Stolle were drinking from large cans of Foster's beer while calling the final match. Stolle gets progressively drunk leading to him passed out by the conclusion of the match. All shots of the Foster's were deleted from the final cut, leaving the audience no indication as to what happened to him.
