An hour and 50 minutes too long.

Rating: 2/10 (22 May 2006)

Match Point is an hour and 50 minutes too long, and I say that because there's not enough story here for more than 10 minutes, and I could have told it all in 2. The main thesis is that the main ingredient to success is luck, and I might buy that argument, but I would have written a much more complicated script about it. This conversation I had tells you just about all you need to know:
Copperhead: and how was it? Me: like my p-ness, long and boring Copperhead: i forgot, you don't like any movies without fighting sequences Me: I think that I would have left my wife in a heartbeat for Scarlett Johansson Me: and that all women are sluts Me: and that shooting them isn't necessarily immoral, Me: but that it's friggin' ridiculous to believe you can get away with murder with today's forensics. Copperhead: yeah but he was lucky Copperhead: I would have thought Scarlett would be too fat for you Me: when all your fat is in your luscious booby, I let it slide.... Me: ...right into my palm Me: but here's my point: Me: even though the guy's married, an @$$hole, and a murderer, YOU would STILL sleep with him in a heartbeat if he just walked up to you and demanded your phone number. Me: And that's really all you need to know about women
