I personally didn't care a whole lot for this movie. I imagine it's the age group that I'm in (19). I feel the movie would have been a lot better without the wine. I understand it's pretty much based around wine, (trip to vinyards, everybody loves wine, wine experts), but it's pretty dull and boring. The acting on Giamatti's part was really well done, and I really could feel Miles' emotions as he progressed through the movie.

That was probably what I liked best, was watching Miles work at getting over the divorce, and finding love again. The fact that it ended on a good note, knowing that Miles would most likely end up with her was a good thing.

Overall I have no complaints about the acting, everyone played their parts well. As far as humor goes, it really wasn't all that funny to me.

All in all, I found it dull and slow. Maybe if I was older, or more interested in wine, it might not have bothered me. But given the fact that I could care less about wine, that kind of ruined the movie for me. There is simply too much of the movie based on it (Yes I know that it's not the center of the movie, I'm not that shallow) to make it enjoyable for someone who really doesn't care for it.

2/5
