It's really too bad that the visuals are so distracting because otherwise, Break Point is a highly enjoyable film. Go to Full Review Joe Neumaier New York Daily News 09/04/2015
2/5
"Break Point" looks good, and it has a big serve, but it's hard to love wholeheartedly. Go to Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com 09/04/2015
2/4
It's a mild-mannered film, strange considering the ferocious nature of tennis itself, the sport that supposedly holds "Break Point" together. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/29/2019
But it's Joshua Rush as Barry who steals the entire film, and your heart, and never more so than in the third act going toe-to-toe with [Jeremy] Sisto...much of the story and the humor falls on Rush's capable shoulders and he never drops the ball.

The adult-child interactions are the best parts, and it is surprisingly sweet for the eighty percent that is not needlessly crass. Go to Full Review Christine N. Ziemba Paste Magazine 09/10/2015
6.1/10
Break Point has its moments. It's passable, light entertainment, but ultimately comes up short when reaching for deeper comedic or dramatic flair. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jerod S @jeroduptown 10/19/2023 This tennis movie with brothers that need a mended relationship serves up some decent drama and laughs - but plays it pretty safe. See more 11/09/2019 Breakpoint is Somewhat entertaining with a good story about brotherly love at all but overall the movie is pretty predictable and forgettable. It had some mild chuckles but the film never goes far enough to truly make you laugh. It’s an OK forgettable comedy.
