Double Gloucester, Brie, Cheddar and Wimbledon, what do they have in common?
Cheese that's what.

Not a scene from the movie...who cares? |
In case the Yank audience forget where Wimbedon is, you get shot upon shot of The Tower Of London, Trafalgar Square, London Buses, Black Cabs, The London Eye, The Houses Of Parliament, all that was missing was a punk rocker with a mohawk (and burning buildings in Hackney)
Everybody eats fish and chips (which gets mentioned 3 times) and Strawberry's and cream, the crowd are all decked out in Union Jack t-shirts and umbrellas, I was half expecting the Pearly King and Queen to make an appearance!
The story is so glaring straight cut, crap English tennis player comes good, falls for sexy and sassy Yank, Daddy doesn't agree, they split up, English chap plays crap in the Final, then the ex turns up, confesses her dying love for him and English bloke kicks the nasty opponents ass.
We know the opponent is a nasty man because one of his serves hit's the ballboy (who incidently is straight out of Oliver Twist) smack in the face, to which our hero exclaims:
"It's one thing to mess with me but you didn't have to mess with the boy!!"
Priceless!
