Reviews
Geronimo1967
Declining tennis pro "Wilton" (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is looking for a job at a swanky London club teaching the well-healed folks like "Tom" (Matthew Goode) and his sister "Chloe" (Emily Mortimer) to whom, after a rather brief courtship, he ultimately gets married. He gets used to her standard of living but isn't really that enamoured of the woman herself. That scenario only worsens when he meets budding actress "Nola" (Scarlett Johansson) - who was dating "Tom" and they start to have an affair. With his wife determined to start a family and a mistress who is becoming increasingly obsessive, poor old "Wilton" must resort to some desperate measures! What possessed Wood Allen to cast JRM here? He's so wooden he makes Victor Mature look animate...
