This was a great movie. It starts at a nice slow pace but soon you are laughing and really feel a sense of each character.

I rented this movie because I was told it was a must for wine lovers and a good movie. I thought it was just 'ok'. The movie had some high points, some funny scenes. There were some interesting metaphors but they weren't very suttle, and at times I found humor in the effort it seemed to take to try getting across the deep thoughts on life! Learned some about wine. The movie was overall bland, with interesting points, and decent characters. I wouldn't rent it again, but it was different. Proves that a movie that wins a ton of awards, doesn't always make a good movie to watch!

How did this win awards? I thought it was dull and boring. Wasn't it supossed to be a comedy? I found it to be rather depressing!

I rented this one because I heard it was a very good movie. I actually found it fairly boring and difficult to sit through. It's not a movie that has a big hook or really any specific plot line that makes you want to keep watching to know what happens. I wouldn't recommend it, I felt like I had wasted two hours of my life after watching it.

This movie was "Animal House" grown up as two snobs. Long and pointless are what comes to mind.Run,don't walk,past this selection.

I was disappointed in this movie. TH Church did a fine job but I did not like his character. And Giametti did the best he could with his character. Miles was a snobby, whiny self-absorbed loser who deserved everything he got! I cannot stand weak men like that--he reminded me a lot of George Costanza from Seinfeld. Another zero in my book. The movie is pretty boring and long. I was hoping for funnier but there were some pretty good parts. This is a one shot deal because I will never want to watch this again.

How that depressed of a man can get that beautiful of a woman is beyond me...well, I guess it was in the script! An ok movie, but not great.
