Amazon.com:
With Sideways, Paul Giamatti (American Splendor, Storytelling) has become an unlikely but engaging romantic lead. Struggling novelist and wine connoisseur Miles (Giamatti) takes his best friend Jack (Thomas Haden Church, Wings) on a wine-tasting tour of California vineyards for a kind of extended bachelor party. Almost immediately, Jack's insatiable need to sow some wild oats before his marriage leads them into double-dates with a rambunctious wine pourer (Sandra Oh, Under the Tuscan Sun) and a recently divorced waitress (Virginia Madsen, The Hot Spot)--and Miles discovers a little hope that he hasn't let himself feel in a long time. Sideways is a modest but finely tuned film; with gentle compassion, it explores the failures, struggles, and lowered expectations of mid-life. Giamatti makes regret and self-loathing sympathetic, almost sweet. From the director of Election and About Schmidt. --Bret Fetzer

- Wine and Hope
The movie started out slow. It seemed to be about a couple of jerks, one a manipulator/liar and the other a "friend" who covers for the manipulator/liar.

But the film picked up and turned into a powerful portrait of the costs of friendship and the nature of hope. I think the two friends and the women they ... Read More

- Excellent film
The acting in this film is incredible. This film is not for anyone who thinks special effects, chase scenes, sex, or well known movie stars make a great movie. These people are very real, they don't do anything spectacular, like real people they have moments where they are doing just what they want to do, without any sense of how its affecting someone else, and other moments when they need to be everything they are, but just can't quite get there. It's filled with amazing dialogue and alot of really ... Read More

- Life is sweet, bitter, funny and stupid
I just finished watching this film and admittedly was very hesitant too watch it in the first place. Having said that, I finely decided to rent it and take a look at the hype. I must said I was pleasantly surprised, and found it to be a highly intellectual film.

I do think that this film might be lost on non creative working people. Meaning if you have not been involved in the arts, acting, writing novels, photography, painting, dancing.......then you may not understand the struggles ... Read More

- Who cares?
Start with two two-dimensional characters, the neurotic angst-filled aspiring author and the lower-tier TV actor.

(The latter, by the way, is played by Thomas Hayden Church, so he's certainly familiar with the territory.)

Add a simple plot. Tour California wine country and get laid as much as possible before the wedding. And drunk. Throw in cardboard cutout womens and wonder why nobody laughs at the "humor."

(I misspelled "womens" because they're that irrelevant here.) ... Read More

Funny movie about life. Loved it when I first saw it on the screen. Although I still love drinking Merlot with dinner! Good for your heart!
