What Parents Need to Know
About Match Point
Parents need to know that this film includes frequent references to sex and sexual desire, including scenes of a married couple in bed and of adulterous sex (one takes place in a field, in the rain; the imagery is not explicit, but a minute or so of lusty performance). Characters frequently refer to "making love" and use verbal innuendo ("Who's my next victim?", "a powerful serve"). Characters appear in various states of undress (the rainy scene shows the woman's nipples through her wet shirt). The film includes some arguments among family members; characters smoke cigarettes frequently and drink alcohol. The climax involves a murder with a shotgun, rendered in a way that emphasizes the emotional impact of the violence on the shooter.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Chris's ambitions: does he want to be rich? To feel passion? To feel lucky? How does the film compare instances of luck and talent? How is Chloe's desire for a child a problem for Chris? How do the outsiders (American Nola and Irish Chris) show their desire to get "inside" the upper class British family?

A must-watch
Wonderful movie. Watch it. There isn't any violence, and the sex is a frequent theme but never too explicit, and no nudity is shown. If you think that your kids are mature enough, watch it.

Not Bad
Pretty good movie. A mature 13 year old could handle this. The strongest profanity is "damn" and "hell". There is sex and adultry, but it is not explicit and it is breif (although it appears often). It is a somewhat complex plot, but still pretty good.

Perfect tragedy
This is a great movie, and definitely an adult movie, but I don't think kids will even bother. It's very slow moving. I nearly walked out--until it all came together 2/3's of the way through, like a Greek tragedy where you could see everthing that had come to pass set up the horrible ending. This is Allen's genius at work. A great look at the complexities of the human mind.

Not a movie for children.
Wonderful movie, but not for children. Watch this after the kids go to bed. Violance, sex, and adultry.
