Sideways

Grade: C

Premise: A wine enthusiast takes his soon to be wedded friend on a guys week in wine country

Recommend?: Yes,with reservations. I think that this is most definitely a guy movie. The acting is strong, the writing is good but it didn't really do anything for me. I didn't connect with it or the characters at all - but I could see where people would. I did sit through the whole thing and the ending was well done but the first hour was really really long. Virginia Madsen was great and I'm glad to see that Thomas Hayden Church made it past his "Lowell on Wings" days.
