Sideways

Another movie that i didn't know what to expect when I went to see it.


I am now officially a fan of Paul Giamatti. He is the perfect actor to play a middle aged man with some sort of problem. He was awesome in American Splendor and does the same in this movie. The way he plays his character you are FORCED to feel for him. When he does something good you are truly happy for him. Although most of the time his character gets screwed somehow. His character is defiantly a standout one in the movie.

This movie is very funny and i found it funny at times where it wasn't even supposed to be funny. The humor ranges from physical to situational to sexual to anything! There was one part where everyone in theater was laughing for quite a while. If you are looking for a comedy check this one out.
If you are a wine lover then watch this movie! There was alot of references to wine and a huge portion of the movie revolves around wine. Although if you dont' know anything about wine ( like me) don't be discouraged you will enjoy the movie the same.

Miles (Giamatti) and his friend go on a trip the week before his friends wedding. They go to taste wine, play golf, have a good time. After the meet a few girls plans change and the good stuff starts!!!

Miles has many many problems as the movie progresses you see miles embrace the problems and start to liberate himself from them. This is all done in a very funny manner! He finally gets over his awkwardness after his wife left him. It seems like he was having a mid-life crisis

This movie seems geared toward and older audience and i think if not for the humor most teenagers would not like the movie. There are many "grown up" motifs that wouldn't sit well with younger audiences.

But you must see this movie it could be the best comedy to come out this year!
