One of the best movies I have seen this year. Rickman and Pullman are excellent in this film.

The only thing that was good about this movie was the true story it was based on. But the writing, acting and directing, ruined even that.

This movie has so many things going for it. It has a nice tight script with both dramatic and comedic elements. It is gorgeous "eye candy" of Napa valley area of California.

This is a pleasant little film. It's not as good as Sideways, and actually is a bit different film. It's not a bad family film, and that is meant in a nice way, not some saccharin way. Oh sorry for the little hit in the title of this review, Stags Leap turned out to be the red wine in that blind tasting, and has been a perennial crowd pleaser in my wine choices. The good about this film, it appears to be pretty well filmed in California (turns out the … more
