If you're going to watch a movie about wine — 1 week ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
Watch this. Forget _Sideways_—though I suspect that one isn’t actually about wine. Of course, I suppose this one isn’t either.
Anyway, the characters in this are more likeable. Or, if dislikeable, funnier in their dislikeability. It is also based on a true story, though I don’t know that I consider that to be much of a reason to prefer it.
The main reason, in my mind anyway, is that the movie is beautifully filmed in beautiful country. The director allows the camera to luxuriate on California’s wine country. So much so that the land itself almost is a character in the movie.
Bottom line: Fun story, beautiful photography. Skip Sideways and watch Bottle Shock.
