A week before his friend Jack is to be married, best man Miles and the prospective groom head off to wine country for a week of fun, relaxation and - of course - wine drinking. Miles is the oenophile and does his best to teach Jack a bit about the art of appreciating great wine. All Jack cares about is drinking and carousing, something he accomplishes when he meets the attractive Stephanie at one of the vineyards. Miles is something of a sad sack, a high school English teacher who is a failed writer at heart. He has yet to get over the fact that his wife has divorced him and that she has remarried and he now faces that nerve racking wait for word from a prospective publisher. Miles has an opportunity to start anew when he meets Stephanie's friend Maya but when he let's slip that Jack is about to be married any hope of a relationship seems to be lost.
Leave your thoughts about Sideways.
| San Diego MetropolitanJean LowerisonCalifornians will want to see this for the familiar scenery, but anyone who has ever loved, lost or wished for a better glass of wine would be well advised to take it in as well. |
| Denton Record-ChronicleBoo AllenSomehow director Payne makes us care, a lot, about these two misfits who seem headed towards their own self-inflicted destructions. |
| Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)Judith EgertonShame on the academy if Giamatti isn't on the ballot this year |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonSideways may fetch Paul Giamatti that best actor Oscar of which he was robbed (or so many thought) for American Splendor. |
| Hollywood.comKit BowenWith the skillfully framed, beautifully written, delicately acted Sideways, Alexander Payne may just have found his golden ticket to Oscar glory. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversDoubters may hedge about calling it a classic and might insist on checking back in a few years to see how it has aged. Fair enough. But it's not too early to call it pure movie bliss. |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter Sobczynski'Sideways' is one of those rare films where every single element and detail, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, feels absolutely right. |
| San Francisco ChronicleCarla MeyerWith four fine films under his belt, Payne should be regarded as an American treasure. |
| The Film YapNick Rogers"Sideways" is about wine aged to perfection sipped by men who've aged to mediocrity - softer, hornier versions of Walter and The Dude. But Miles's brutal honesty is its soul. He's annoyingly, depressingly out there, but never fraudulent. |
| Big Picture Big SoundJoe LozitoNo one does quivering-on-the-edge-of-depression quite like Paul Giamatti. |
