"Probably the most pleasant surprise of 2008."
This is probably the most pleasant surprise of the year. Comparisons have been made to the movie "Sideways" but, quite frankly, I found this to be the better film. The characters are much richer and more interesting to me. True charm and depth resonate through each character. The fact that the story is based on true life events only makes the sentiment and plot itself more amazing. The first 15 minutes or so don't really flow that well and aren't an indication of the quality that's to follow. Survive the clumsy start and the rest of the movie is exquisite, just like a fine wine. (Note: I never wanted to savor a glass of vino more in my life then directly after having seen this movie.)
