Break Point

Jimmy Price is a reckless man-child on the last leg of his career as a doubles tennis player. When his latest partner drops him, he realizes he's officially burned all of his bridges on the pro circuit. He decides to make one last ditch effort to revive his career, reaching outside of the tennis world and convincing his childhood partner -- his estranged brother Darren, now an apathetic substitute teacher - to team up with him. The mismatched pair, with the help of a unique 11-year-old named Barry, make an unlikely run at a grand slam tournament and are forced to re-discover their game, and their brotherhood.

I haven't seen it, but I'm sure it's good. It was written and directed by Jay Karas, who also directed the television series "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation". And it stars Jeremy Sisto, Adam Devine, J.K. Simmons, and Amanda Peet. So it has some great talent behind it.

Match Point

Match Point is Woody Allen’s satire of the British High Society and the ambition of a young tennis instructor to enter into it. Yet when he must decide between two women - one assuring him his place in high society, and the other that would take him far from it - palms start to sweat and a dark psychological match in his head begins.
Garret Alves
In my opinion, movie Match Point is pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the suspenseful plot and the director's use of black and white photography. Plus, Scarlett Johansson is always a plus in any movie! Overall, I would say it's worth watching.
