Really Surprised!
As Good As It Gets
A Disappointing Continuation
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Two men reaching middle age with not much to show but disappointment embark on a week-long road trip through California's wine country, just as one is about to take a trip down the aisle. Despite the good cast 'Sideways' unfortunately goes sideways from the very start to the point where it gets boring but also not as dramatic as it might have hoped. The perfomances weren't bad but they weren't great either and in the end? It was just a film that wasted my time and just another movie that doesn't need such a high rating as a whole.
This film is just a masterpiece from start to finish. Paul Giamatti and Thomas church give incredible perfomances. Some of the scenes in this film had me holding my sides with pain I was laughing so hard. It's also sad In parts. I'm not drinking any f**cking MERLOT!!!
Exceptional casting, storyline, writing, characters with tremendous chemistry
In my opinion this is the best of Paul Giamatti movies he fit in the role , really adapted with the character like it's his own reality and with the wittingly written screen-play by Alexander Payne oh god that's just awesome ,most conversations of the depressed character have implication give you the weepy/funny feelings simultaneously that's just smart he really deserved the Oscar , the ending is spectacular make you still feel sad with assist of the soundtrack running on the background at the same time gives you hope and make you think about what's going to happen ...i recommend this movie for all drama seekers over there. cheers.
