This outrageous documentary-style comedy lampoons the lives of two pro tennis archrivals (Andy Samberg and Kit Harington) before they face off in their greatest showdown, Wimbledon's longest tennis match - 7 DAYS IN HELL. This 45-minute comedy special brings Andy Samberg and Kit Harington, two of TV's most recognizable stars, together for a hilarious, star-studded spoof of big-time tennis. Premiering on one of the biggest weekends in tennis - the Wimbledon singles finals - 7 DAYS IN HELL takes an irreverent, mock-serious look back at a pair of fictional players from the not-too-distant past, who played a match to end all tennis matches: a seven-day, five-set Wimbledon marathon that took everything, literally, out of the two. In addition to highlights (and lowlights) from the match, 7 DAYS IN HELL looks back, documentary-style, at the lives and careers of the two competitors: Aaron Williams (Samberg), a hyper-malcontent whose behavior on his best day trumped John McEnroe's on his worst (McEnroe appears as himself in the show), and Charles Poole (Harington), a dim-witted prodigy who carried England's hopes for a Wimbledon champion on his shoulders. Hilariously coloring the backstory of these faux-superstars are a parade of well-known guests, portraying fictional characters or tongue-in-cheek versions of themselves. (HBO Europe)

Englisch The most brutal seven days in the history of tennis, which make fun of not only the royal sport but also the royal family itself. I haven’t seen such honestly dry, but completely eloquent British humor in a long time. And I am surprised that I saw it here, in such a small-scale movie in particular. ()

Englisch I don't know what it is, but the world of green lawns, brick clay courts, white collars, ferocious heckling, and clapping spectators is somehow annoying to me. Perhaps that's why I can call this the best tennis match I've ever seen in my life. ()
