Leave your thoughts about Break Point.
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"Break Point" has its difficulties with storytelling and tone, but it carries most of the way, finding a rich sense of humor on and off the court. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThis light comedy stretches beyond sports to find emotion at its core, without sacrificing laughs. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanBreak 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. |
| Christianity TodayKenneth R. MorefieldThe adult-child interactions are the best parts, and it is surprisingly sweet for the eighty percent that is not needlessly crass. |
| L.A. WeeklyAmy NicholsonKaras showcases the actors' surprisingly good tennis skills, like the continuous volley they do while reciting the lyrics to "Bust a Move" and the deft way Sisto spins his racquet. But rather than develop these two as characters, Break Point tries to score too many points. |
| VarietyAndrew BarkerUndeniably likable in its own breezy, resolutely unambitious way, Jay Karas’ tennis laffer Break Point manages to generate decent laughs, even if its reliance on indie-comedy formula borders on the pathological. |
| New York PostSara StewartDirector Jay Karas doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel as he puts this odd couple through the paces of getting in shape and reconciling old wounds, but he’s helped by some laugh-out-loud quirk in Gene Hong’s screenplay, nice comic chemistry between the two leads and supporting players like J.K. Simmons. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterAs far as tennis comedies go, this one sits somewhere between WIMBLEDON and BALLS OUT. Make of that what you will. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineThere's just too much déja vu at play on this court. |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoQuietly moving comedy about tennis, brotherhood; language. |
