My wife and I have been wanting to see this movie for awhile now. With the kids busy, we got our chance yesterday evening. Our first theater trip was a disappointment in that the movie had "left the building" the day before; our fault for not checking. Manager did mention that the movie was a good one, but nobody came. Looking for another theater we were lucky to find one close. 6:25 here we come.
We were both glad we made the second trip and saw this movie. Interesting hidden story while our country was busy with its 200th birthday. Remember the red, white and blue toilet paper? Alan Rickman was wonderful as usual. He, IMO doesn't get enough work or is content with his current lot. Other actors were well cast and the flipping from Napa to France was not at all distracting, although I wish a bit more time was spent in the wine country in France. And where did Dennis Farina get that suit he wore during the tasting contest outside of Paris? To close there were about 6 other people in the theater when there should have been 600. When we exited we were stopped by 2 students that asked how we liked the movie. On their clipboard they entered 2 -4 star votes from us.
If you get a chance and this is a hard one to find in theaters, go. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
