A Masterpiece!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Two men reaching middle age with not much to show but disappointment embark on a week-long road trip through California's wine country, just as one is about to take a trip down the aisle. Despite the good cast 'Sideways' unfortunately goes sideways from the very start to the point where it gets boring but also not as dramatic as it might have hoped. The perfomances weren't bad but they weren't great either and in the end? It was just a film that wasted my time and just another movie that doesn't need such a high rating as a whole.
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!
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.
Two friends, Miles and Jack, take a trip to California wine country. What follows is some interesting hijnks, friendship tests and self-discovery.Wonderfully funny and warm movie, written and directed by Alexander Payne. Quirky, with a solid plot that takes you on a very interesting journey. Great performances by Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church in the lead roles.
