a great road picture that not only transverses physical points but emotional and emphatic points as well. great character developement of all four main characters. overall, a fine drama with great comedic points. fine performances by all.
I loved it. Full of pathos, humor, and always on an edge between horror and hilarity. Paul Giamati is wonderful because he`s not just a schlub, has a good person who is really trying to make himself whole. Virginia Madsen is fantastic as a whole person who also is trying to make things understandable. I liked it much better than `About Schmidt`.
Sorry, but I did not find this flick especially endearing. Although I do like Thomas Hayden-Church, I didn`t buy him as a lothario in this movie. The chemistry between Miles and Maya was non-existant, and the whole scene where they are stuck together while Jack and Stephanie are off in the bedroom getting it on was awkward and painful to watch.
A fun movie for those of us over the age of 40. Worth the price of admission.
dull and superficial. the kind of pretentiousness that we used to revel in in college. and with a fatal flaw (now it`s my chance to be pretentious): with his fanaticism for the pinot noir grape (with all the symbolism it represents in the movie) -- the one wine he is saving for the "big event" in his life is a Cheval Blanc, which is a St. Emilion, which has no Pinot Noir in it (but some Merlot -- the grape he is aghast at). If you are going to make a statement about wines, get your facts straight. Or is this just irony? (Fat chance).
Another middle-age, lost soul, self-centered angst flick that takes advantage of the art of winemaking as it`s vehicle to nowhere.
A classic tale of the schlemiel and the schlamazel, both losers.
I loved it: it offered wonderful insight into the male mind (I`m female); i was rather sympathetic.
A great movie, with great acting and a believable story line. After seeing the film, I went out and bought the book although I wonder if it will measure up to the movie.
a briliant movie that has an euperion ending with references to western culture both in euripe and america.
