Match point - I'd hate to have had to sit through the entire match!

Rating: 1/10 (16 January 2006)

Poor dialogue, one-dimensional characters and a plot that has you checking your watch combine to create a two-hour experience akin to a traumatic visit to the dentist No plot spoilers here as the plot was spoiled long before the cameras rolled! If any reader out there is in the movie business and somebody brings them a 100% gobbling turkey then please refuse to have anything to do with it no matter how famous the writer is/was. It's called integrity I believe.
While we're at it can somebody please explain why John Fortune (or was it John Bird) was cast as the chauffeur? Can the single line of dialogue and occasional semi obscured profile shot have done anything for his career? I like the mans work a lot (and that of his comedy partner) but surely there is a case for paying some kind of homage to the botox lipped lead female character, a struggling actor, and filling this insignificant role with, well, a struggling actor?
