Movie Review: Sideways

I had heard lots of good things about this movie for many years now. I heard it was one of the funniest, one of the best comedies that has ever come out(seems to be one a year, wouldn't you say??). Well, with all that hype, I still tried to watch it with a open mind and hoped for the best. And having watched it, I have 4 questions for this movie:

1. I really want to go on a wine tasting adventure.
2. What kind of car was Miles driving?
3. How does Virgina Madsen look hot for being 43 in this?
4. What was it about 2004 and having all these midlife crisis movies?

In any case, this isn't a laugh out loud type of movie, like The Hangover but more like Lost in Translation, with subtle humor and some really upfront nudity. There really isn't much to be said about this movie, it's a movie that you can only talk about if you've seen it, much like Mad Men, Gossip Girl or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This is a very intelligent movie, and very talkative when it comes to wine. By the end of it, you could probably sound like a expert just by quoting dialog from this movie(if it hadn't won the Oscar for Screenplay).

Overall, Sideways is as good as everyone says it is, just watch it and take from it for your own reasons. You'll find something in it you like.

Rating: 4.5/5
