Sideways: A Roadtrip at leisurely place

I have never ever met or seen people who spoke so much about wine. I met, spoke, partied with people who spoke about all kinds of beer, rum and whisky but not about wine. I finally did when I saw Sideways yesterday. Paul Gimatti plays the protaganist who is in the midst of an absolutely horrible mid life crisis and he is a eight grade teacher and is trying to break it big in the field of non fiction novels. Thomas Haden Church, plays his friend and is a voice over artists [ like the guy who says "India, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan - Gopal Pal Podi" in the radio advertisement]. The two young turks [ obviously sarcastic] decide to take a road trip to the wineries of Southern California to celberate Church's last week of bachelorhood. So the movie is about Wine, how it is made, how people can talk hours together about it , how thomas haden church uses his charms to bone multiple women and how women break his nose when they find out he has been cheating.

If you have time, do watch this money which would have cost a little over a few thousand dollars to make and most of the cost would have gone to buy the wine they are drinking throughout the movie. One positive aspect about the movie is that it is different and is great for people who want to watch something other than the ordinary. If I were to write this review for Ananda Vikatan, I would give this movie 37/100.

PS: I think I am going to buy my first wine bottle today. I guess it will be a Pinot Noir
