"Six Feet Under" actor Sisto, portrays washed-up doubles
tennis player Jimmy who tries to convince his brother Darren,
played by "About a Boy" actor Walton to play with him.
"For doubles tennis, it lends itself perfectly toward two
characters who operate very differently and have to get over
some stuff and learn how to be a team," Sisto, also a producer
and co-writer of the film, said at the premiere on Thursday.
J.K. Simmons, who won an Academy Award this year for "Whiplash",
plays the brothers' father.
"The whole doubles thing, that brotherly banter on the doubles
court is a good recipe for comedy," he said.
"Break Point" opens in U.S. cinemas on Sept. 4.
