The Whole Shooting Match was about two main characters Frank and Lloyd who are both guys working to try to just get enough money to get by in life, Frank however has a wife and child where as Lloyd doesn't. In this movie you see the rough parts of an everyday life, however Frank's cousin (find name) doesn't think that Frank is a great enough husband or father and tries to win over Frank's wife countless times throughout the movie. Lloyd is a man of interesting talents he comes off as the guy who hasn't done much, but he truly is an inventor. One day while Lloyd goes through his first car wash that he doesn't end up paying for he comes up with an idea on a new invention, which is a mop that squirts the water out and cleans almost like a vacuum cleaner. With this invention they think they will become the richest men alive, however when they go down to the signing company, they sign all the papers, without reading and walk out of the building with $1000 dollars in cash. So Frank and Lloyd split the money in half and Frank goes around happy and starts spending it all on himself a new suit, and a new car. Frank eventually admits to his wife he had been cheating on her and was a terrible father and wanted to make a change in his life. After Frank and Lloyd find out that they aren't getting any money for their product they find out that the company tricked them and gave them $1000 while the company kept the money made from product, so Frank and Lloyd go hunting for treasure while out there Frank takes the gun from Lloyd and walks off. Few minutes later you hear a gun go off and Lloyd races to find Frank laying in the ground, he tried to kill himself, but couldn't all the regret and frustration built in him, his family and best friend were reasons he didn't end his life that moment. This movie was a wonderful choice, it brought in the real world feeling, showed what it's like for people who live in this kind of low budget, and movie reveals how the real world can mess you over in the end, while keeping in some comedy to enlighten the viewer to always be positive.
score 7/10
