8/10
Hilarious mockumentary

John Isner and Nicolas Mahut were nothing against these guys. If you are as interested in tennis as I am, you will certainly understand this reference. And you will hopefully also enjoy these 42 minutes as much as I did. This comedy short film was really well done. Interviews with former tennis players like McEnroe and Chris Evert added a nice seemingly serious touch, but don't be mistaken. It is 100% comedy. David Copperfield's addition seemed a bit random at first, but it's fine too I guess. The scene where he appeared after one of his tricks (gone wrong) on the Centre Court was funny. I also liked everything with June Squibb, especially the elevator scene and the streakers on the court were fun too. Back to June Squibb, this is a nice watch for lovers of the film "Nebraska" as Will Forte appeared in here too. The runtime was perfect too. There were hardly no scene that felt unnecessary, so it was good to keep the film this short before it could possible drag. And of course, all the tennis scenes were pure comedy gold, especially the one scene called the greatest point ever played. This is a must-see for every tennis fan. Plus the cast isn't that bad either with Hamm, Dunham and Sheen apart from the ones I already mentioned. I laughed from start to finish in here and I was close to giving this one a perfect score. Finally, a mention to Murray Miller who wrote the script for this one. It would be nice to see him get Emmy recognition for this, but I guess not. Anyway, highly recommended. Go check it out.
