Very good movie. Good script. Good acting. Not mainstream but definitely one for those who value a slightly twisted comedy.
How could this be nominated for an Oscar???The theater was full of wine snobs having a laugh at losers worse off than them. It was a bad commercal for a wine tasting tour
I thought the movie was a brilliant mix of the things that make us laugh and the things that make us cry. Rich with metaphor yet never too serious about itself, this film runs the gamut and shows what I thought was a very interesting and accurate snapshot of "the human condition."
I would have given it less than one star but that was as low as the rating system went. What reprehensible people!
So answer me this.... Virginia Madsen is apparently nominated for an Academy Award.. was she even in this movie? I will go so far as to say that she did a decent job but... the four minues she was on screen is that worth an Academy Award?
Not good not bad. The movie was starched out should have bean 45 Min it just dragged on. How much wine tasting do they have to show?
Absorbing, funny, immoral, entertaining. And pinot noir is not ALL that great...
Read the book instead... it`s much more enjoyable
Not bad. It will probably make a better rental to watch in the comfort of your own home. The audience with whom I watched it strained to find humor in it early, laughing at things that weren`t really funny, and were either so bored or so puzzled by the middle of the film, lost some of the funnier moments. I think I lauged out loud once, which out of 126 minutes, is pretty low on the laugh per minute ratio. Wait for it on DVD and use your 9 bucks to see something better suited to a big screen and overpriced popcorn.
Okay movie. Coarser than it needed to be to support the story line.
