I'm about to see Sideways

Do you guys think I'll like it?

 

I didn't really like it. I like the actors, but didn't really like the movie. I don't think that answers your question really though.

 

My new favorite movie. Reminds me of Thomas Berger's Best Friends.

 

I hate this movie with a passion...HATE it

 

Care to elaborate why?

 

Great film Glad you enjoyed

 

Absolutely love it. I love movies with no real plot, just a series of events...much more entertaining than a carefully planned plot I think

 

I work with wine so I found a lot to like about it.

 

Have seen Junebug?

From what you say above, you might like it. iggy:

 

Sounds cool, I'll check it out! cheers

 

ugh that movie blows. i'm not a paul giamatti fan and i hated that other guy. i just didn't enjoy it, didn't see the point of it. thought it was meanspirited and ugly. yuck.

 

Mean-spirited?? How?

 

hmm. maybe i should have said it was too negative. i thought the one guy--the guy who was getting married and cheated on his fiancee like 40 times, was just a huge festering dick and it didn't go any deeper than that for me. he just made me really mad. and the whole movie just left me with this icky feeling. it wasn't enjoyable. i don't even really remember what happened at the end, because i was so pissed about this guy being a dick to his fiancee. and paul giamatti's character's depression just made me upset. i didn't really connect with any of the characters, i just didn't like them.

i guess the movie served its purpose, it made me feel something. so i guess it didn't blow...but i really didn't like it. and i thought it was ugly.

 

You know what it is?

The movie is sorta the male version of a chick flick. It is veeery male-oriented. It is about two buddies - one of whom is a sex addict and taking a huge step in his life; the other one heart-broken and also taking a huge step in his by opening up to a woman for the first time after a failed marriage.

It's a very buddy-buddy thing...how men connect with each other despite the barriers put up by male gender-roles...And despite the fact that the two friends come from opposite ends of the spectrum.

I actually like it that the "dick" character, who appears to be an air-head at first blush, is given some depth at the end of the movie by asking for help. And...(this is something that a lot of women might have trouble accepting) he actually had feelings for the Asian girl and was open-minded enough to learn about wine and encourage his friend to keep on writing.
