I went and saw Sideways last night. I really thought it was outstanding. It moved much faster than About Schmidt, done by the same director, and the writing was fantastic. Also, it had Paul Giamatti (American Splendor, as well as Duets - shut up, i liked it - and Confidence) and Thomas Haden Church, who was Lowell on Wings, both of whom I already like.
Between you all and me, I liked the suspense and reward the most. Miles reminded me a bit of every other Giamatti character, downtrodden, sad but keeps going for some reason neither he (nor the audience) can figure out. Anywho, if you've ever held onto memories of a bad relationship for longer than you should, I recommend this movie. If you like wine, I recommend this movie. And if you just want a good movie, I recommend this movie. 4 out of 5 ass tractors - not enough nudity. hehehhehe
