Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This film is just a masterpiece from start to finish. Paul Giamatti and Thomas church give incredible perfomances. Some of the scenes in this film had me holding my sides with pain I was laughing so hard. It's also sad In parts. I'm not drinking any f**cking MERLOT!!!

Boy, I was so bored while watching this turkey of a movie. The acting was good but the plot, the characters...just so miserable. No one was really likable, no one. Not the main characters, not the women they sleep with. Both guys seemed like real losers. I certainly didn't laugh during this movie.

Wow. What can I say. I've seen Sideways before but now, when I'm a bit wiser, I cannot but admire this piece of art as a subtle elaboration of the 21st century human condition.Minutes 56-59 in the movie are the soul of humanity at this day and age. If one doesn't feel the multi-layered emotional gravitas of the characters and what they're trying to achieve then there is something wrong with one.Great writing, fabulous soundtrack, and amazing locations, and Miles is so "Italian" he doesn't seem to be acting all that the emotional turmoil.

This movie is just bad. BUT, it is wrapped up in a good package. People are suppose to think it's good, because all the other cool people say it's good, but it's really crap. So rather than say it's crap, people just say it's fantastic. AND HEY! There's wine!!! You have two un-likable terrible 40 something men on a bromance trip through Santa Barbara wine country. Giamati is a fine actor in my opinion and pulls off an excellent portrayal of a person everyone hates. Church is a terrible actor and pulls off the easy task of being a terrible person acted terribly by a terrible actor. The plot is so silly, the situations are so nonsensical, and the acting is so bad there is nothing to hold this mess together. Church is apparently getting married and decides the best thing he can do is go wine tasting with a horribly depressing friend to find some tail. "Do we go to Vegas to find tail? Do we go to Tijuana to find tail? Do we go to Bangkok to find, whatever? Nope! Let's go up to Santa Barbara wine country." To insult our intelligence the director expects us to pity this cavorting oaf (Church) after he weeps, stupidly, regretting the fact that he just slept with a few women that aren't his fiancé, when the whole point of his trip is to get tail a few days before his marriage.I understand why this movie is held in such high regard. It is Night Train poured in to an empty Château Lafite wine bottle. It looks like a fine wine. People who pay a lot of money for fine wine tell me it's fine wine. So it must be fine wine. "I hate it, It's crap, it tastes like skunk sprayed ebola infected with syphilis, but it must be good because all the cool people say it's good." But in truth. It's still a $2 bottle of swill.The difference is, a $2 bottle of swill is infinitely more enjoyable than this awful movie. So do yourself a favor. Pop in a betamax of Ghoulies and pour yourself a glass of Night Train. You'll thank me later.
