Sideways

Critics called a comedic genuis or the funniest movie of the year. They're wrong.

Movie is about 2 buddies going on a week-long winte tasting trip through CA in order to celebrate Jack's wedding on the coming Saturday. Miles is the depressed novelist/teacher who loves wine and is still working off his divorce from a year or two ago. Jack is the guy getting married and more of the wild guy. Jack intends to get laid and get Miles's mind off his "problems."

The movie is not really funny at all. There are a few funny parts, mostly just a scene involving the duo golfing. Maybe it's funny if you know anything about wine since that's all about anybody talks about. It's not a bad movie. The plot is kind of intriguing and the acting is pretty good. The ending is probably why the movie was nominated for awards since it's kind of different...kind of.

Overall, not bad. 2.5 shrubs of 5. It kills over 2 hours of your time, though it may feel like more.
