I sure hope most viewers wont be giving away too much of the plot. of course it is fine to say it is a classic boys on the road story. but try not to tell the whole story. even if the boys have grown up, or sort of.
over here in Europe this film is really getting a good ride. mainly because of the wine, of course, but also because the santa barbara area is not so well known as napa, etc., and of course anything concerning wine will draw in the crowds in Paris, especially teamed with top rate performances. and filming to die for, really. the filmers even make trashy main strip roads look exotic. most of the time anyway. this is the kind of film that makes you realize that most of our great film makers, now over sixty, started out with little hits like this one. the more the merrier.
so what if it all seems a little pat at times. it is good pat, even excellent pat. not up to jack lemmon but hey we are in a new era, too.or so i have been told.
go see. support American films by doing so. don't wait for the TV or DVD versions. this film will not be able to stand the cuts for commercials, and it clearly was not written with those eight minute dramatic action runs in mind to accommodate the commercials.
