I watched about half an hour of it and moved on. I was bored. It's wasn't for me and that's ok.

this is a movie that I've been curious about since I play a lot of tennis, but never wanted to take the time to watch. I ended up making the mistake of watching it on a Delta flight so a bunch of folks with a line of sight to my aisle seat movie screen saw a couple of dong shots (I'm surprised they have unedited versions of these types of movies on flights).

It was weird but the tennis shots were great. Was also surprised at the curvature of Zendaya's arse.

I liked it a lot. I love Zendaya though. And the last third of the movie was thrilling.

And great soundtrack

Not a good movie. The guys were WAY too gay for each other.

I thought that was where the whole thing was going, tbh.

made that mistake about 10 years ago watching wolf of Wall Street on a flight to Seattle. The people next to me were really shocked at the bachelor party scene.

I went in blind on Bone Tomahawk in an aisle seat. Not the best choice

No it was just an artsy hollywood type trying to insinuate that its perfectly normal for best friends to be handsy and flirty and even makeout with each other in a MFM threesome. I mean who hasn't accidentally tongue kissed their best friend?

I really enjoyed it

Can’t wait to rewatch it.

That was a fun theater experience with the score making the walls bump and it made the tennis scenes really exciting

Some cool director work too with the camera under the clear court from that angle

Where does it insinuate that they are normal? Everyone in this movie is their own version of crazy it’s not some broad commentary on society

One character is openly Bi, the other guy clearly has some closeted feelings, and Zendeya would frick the tennis racket if she could in this movie.

They certainly never depict the relationship as weird or out of the ordinary. maybe I jumped the gun a bit declaring it as normal but the guys' relationship was pretty off putting.

The shame is that the dynamic and set up were there for an actually good tennis movie but instead we got some sort of bisexual fantasy that happened to involve tennis players.

I mean the entire marketing push is basically doing this, as Will Ferrell would say- it’s provocative

I disagree. the trailers made me think I was getting into a sports movie, not some gay erotica.

Not sure what trailer you saw because the whole threesome scene is what they built the entire marketing campaign on
