Comedy and pathos in an Odd Couple redux!

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2005
The Bottom Line: See it for the wine country cinematography, and hilarious sexual hijinx with an updated Odd Couple!
Review: It's a life filled with disappointments for Miles (Paul Giamatti), in Alexander Payne's movie, "Sideways." A broken marriage, rejected manuscripts, and other common indignities, have not prevented him from being a good, honest, and moral man with...

Sideways but couldn't tell

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2005
Review: I can't see why this movie deserved anymore than a 2 star. Not humorous. Not interesting. No action. I'm not from California and don't drink wine so most of the story plot and locations didn't do anything for me. Best scene was the main actor having...

Losers - these guys are such LOSERS!

Date of Review:  Apr 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: It's like being in a 2 hour wine-drunk; with that film over your brain.
Review: From my review, you might think that I don't get it, that the reason the movie was nominated is precisely for how much I see these guys as losers. The film does its job - they are losers. However, what besides this makes it good? Read on....

In Hopes of Preventing Others from Making the Same Mistake

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: With good acting and scenery wasted on unsympathetic characters and a meandering plot, Sideways is an overrated stinker that somehow slipped under critics' collective radars.
Review: Last Friday, my wife and I went down to our local Hollywood Video and rented that film that seemed to either win or be nominated for an inordinate amount of Golden Globes and Academy Awards -- Sideways, a film directed by the same man who directed...

The Grapes of Wretchedness: Payne's Sideways

Date of Review:  Nov 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line has been drinking a lot of Riesling lately. But don't ever order Merlot in its presence.
Review: Alexander Payne has a knack for dissecting those very specific times that are common to everybody's lives. In "Election" he gives us a gaggle of teenagers battling through adolescence, while the newly-minted adults around them battle with the fact...

interesting character study - one of the year's best films

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: This film kep me watching. It's not like your typical formulaic fare.
Review: Sideways is receiving a lot of critical praise and it is one of the better films of the year, so far.

Two friends head out to California's wine country, to spend a week together before one of, Jack, gets married. Jack is a former TV actor,...

Drifting Sideways

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: Well written with strong performances.
Review: Miles and Jack are two individuals who have found themselves drifting into middle age with few accomplishments and no real prospects of achieving their life's ambitions. They are polar opposites which is probably what initially draws them to each...

DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you want to pay over $10 to be bored for two hours, have I got the movie for you!
Review: I'm kind of a tall guy. Sometimes when I'm in a crowded movie theatre with my knees pressed up to my chest I have to endure some excruciating pain. I thought at first that my leg discomfort might have colored my opinion of this film...

Sidways: A Buddy Road Comedy For Those Who Hate Buddy Road Comedies

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2005
The Bottom Line: Sideways is a funny, emotional film from director Alexander Payne. One of the best of 2004. 4 stars.
Review: For all that it is (a fine film, featuring some fine performances, with some fine humor), it seems critics have been too careful not to call Sideways what it really is. Perhaps it's because they feel that this film is too good to be called that, or...

Sideways is not what is seems- definitely not a funny movie!

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: I can not reccommend this movie. Too depressing. Provides no escape from reality, no humor, glamour, music or exciting actors and I expect much more from academy award nominees.
Review: This movie is an academy award snore! The stunning photography can't even save this mess. The lead character, a writer is never shown as anything but a loser, and yet we must suffer through scenes of this ugly guy clipping his toenails and taking a...
