‘Match Point’ (and I will totally spill the ending in the first sentence)

I’m not sure what this movie had to do with tennis, as the title randomly suggests, other than the main character used to play tennis, and then for about 5 seconds he teaches tennis to a guy who comes from a well off family, at which point the tennis dude goes after the sister of the rich dude, marries her and then screws around on her until he knocks up his mistress and not wanting to come clean and lose his status with the rich family and go back to being a  poor bastard who might have had something to do with tennis decides the better option is to shoot the pregnant mistress.  With a shotgun.  His father-in-law’s shotgun to be exact.

Other than that, I was able to sit through an entire Woody Allen film.  For the first time ever!  And also probably the last.

That’s probably all there is to say about the flick.  Seriously.
