This film starts off irrelavent but by the end it all comes together. It reminds me of Memento. The ending was disappointing but it's a rush to watch it all come together in an ending that no one would expect after watching the first half of the film. It shows how fast things can go bad.

Read More A tennis instructer in London gets his chance to live in high society by hooking up with the sister of one of his students. His life turns for the better until he has an affair that can risk it all. An old plot to be sure but Woody Allen as writer and director here does put a bit of his own "spin" on it. All about chance and luck and how much it just might make the difference in our lives - no matter how we lived it...for better or for worse is having great luck or the lack of it the real deciding factor in how our lives work out? Which way will the ball bounce? That's what this one's about. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Chris never loved Chloe but he wanted the benefits of wealth that came with marriage. However, he found passion with another woman, then deceived both women and his wife's family. He was immoral so his resolution of his dilemma was consistent. I would have found the movie more satisfying if he had been caught and punished. But Woody wanted luck to play a role, so it was luck he was hooked up with a wealthy family, and didn't get caught. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
