It was okay. The first half was amazingly boring, but it got a little funny once they visit the crass, commercial winery. You'll know when.

Personally, I wouldn't bother seeing it in theaters. It's _maybe_ worth a rental.

I thought it was damn good, personally. Your average moviegoer may find it a bit slow (no offense intended, capt), but I thought the whole thing was fantastic. You'll love it.

ditto. it may be the best portrayal ever of a 40something divorcee and his to-be-married buddy spending a week in wine country but frankly i found the concept boring.

it was the funniest sad movie i've ever seen. excellent dialogue, though the wine pornography was a little over the top.

i really liked it.

I keep wanting to see it since it's supposed to be good but everytime I am about to go I watch the trailer again and it looks so pointless and boring I can't bring myself to go to the theater!

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

and this folks is why you don't go out and post a thread in a hurry.

here is the link to the trailer-

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/sideways/

that might work a little better. i kept coming back to this thread looking at that first post thinking something was wrong, but i couldn't put my finger on it.

sorry all who had no idea what i was talking about.
