Review of Sideways

Sideways (2004)
6/10
Best Picture? Not Really...
14 February 2005
While the theater in Yuma last week had only 15 people in a 125 seat house the movie and the "crowd" was rather quiet during the 1st hour while the 2nd hour provided more interaction and a few laughs.

I am a 2nd generation Californian and have toured many a winery but I just don't see how or why everyone seems to "love" this movie. The story just takes too long to get to a point that you want to empathize or relate to either character. In the end I was hoping for Miles to find happiness and Jack to stop being "Jack." However upon leaving the movie I just felt like it was just middle aged men (especially Jack) behaving badly.
