Match Point(2005)- User Reviews

Predictible plot lines with shallow characters, I fell asleep to it on DVD, only to waken (for more punishment) in the AM, hoping somehow a magic fairy replaced it with something more interesting; she didn't.

There comes a point in a tennis match where the ball hits the top of the net. It bounces straight up in the air and, with a bit of luck, it falls your way. Woody Allen's "Match Point" explores that moment of luck and all the consequences …more»

Woody Allen is finished and desperate. He's remaking his own movie (Crimes and Misdemeanors) with hot young actors to cash in. And he's doing it poorly. It's pathetic.
