Break Point has its moments. It's passable, light entertainment, but ultimately comes up short when reaching for deeper comedic or dramatic flair.

As far as tennis comedies go, this one sits somewhere between WIMBLEDON and BALLS OUT. Make of that what you will.

The affable, shaggy-dog tennis comedy Break Point is bristly and charming, just like its star and producer, Jeremy Sisto, who plays the affable shaggy-dog Jimmy Price, a washed-up semi-pro tennis player.

Quietly moving comedy about tennis, brotherhood; language.

It's the kind of amiable but predictable trifle that nobody ever seeks out, but that will mildly amuse everyone who happens to stumble onto it when it hits cable and the streaming services.

It's a mild-mannered film, strange considering the ferocious nature of tennis itself, the sport that supposedly holds "Break Point" together.

Always nice to enjoy a little comfort-food movie in which almost nothing surprising or particularly fresh happens, but we're happy to spend time with the characters and we wish them the best as the credits roll.

Break Point is light and bouncy, not unlike a tennis ball being lobbed back and forth. You always know where it's going, yet there's a distinct pleasure in the fast-paced way it gets there.

There's just too much déja vu at play on this court.

"Break Point" looks good, and it has a big serve, but it's hard to love wholeheartedly.

Break Point may not be a great film, but it certainly has a lot of heart. This is a sweet flick.
