Such a frustrating disappointment

Just perfect...

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This movie is from the director of About Schmidt, one of my favorite movies. So is Sideways, but AS is better. But Sideways is still great. 2 movies came to mind that this movie reminded me of: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles-since it's 2 friends on a road trip, and it also reminded me of The Hangover-since the friends drink a lot and have crazy adventures. There's also a little 40 Year Old Virgin. Even though it compares with past and present movies, Sideways is a unique movie. Roger Ebert called it one of the year's best movies, and I have seen it on YouTube critic's favorite lists. I see why, and like I said, it's on mine. If you want a fun and worthwhile movie, look no further than Sideways!

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.

Amongst the endless and certainly varied spectrum of dramatic comedies Hollywood has to offer, there has yet to be a tale that resonates so deeply with oneself... That is, until i saw Sideways... What surprised me most about Sideways, was not only its unpredictability in the form of Giamatti's marvelous acting, but the way in which it steadily stayed afloat from start to finish. Through its directing, acting and cinematography, this film brilliantly showcases the endeavours that we all can (in one way or another) appreciate, and whether you liked it or not, acknowledgement of this is without doubt, past due. Exploring Miles' character can be - at times - somewhat complex, however, it's gradually eased thanks to Thomas Haden Church's wonderful support. I heed this to not disregard Giamatti's acting skills, but to in-fact marvel them.Beyond the sleazy nature of Jack and Miles' antics do we develop an intriguing and thought-provoking observance of their growth, from minute one to one-hundred. Watch this film with your eyes, feel it with your mind; for it's a masterclass that's devilishly underrated. Where there's an ovation deserved, there's an ovation awarded. Bravo.

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.
