Trivialidades:

Max Skinner's wardrobe is largely influenced by Russell Crowe's own uncle, David William Crowe.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Max is playing tennis at La Siroque, the sound that the tennis racquets make does not correspond with the type of old racquets they have. The sound is from a modern tennis racquet.

Quotes:

Fanny Chenal: There's something you should know about me, Max. I'm very, very choosy... I'm also very, very suspicious; very, very irrational, and I have a very, very short temper. I'm also extremely jealous and slow to forgive. Just so you know.

Movie Connections:

References "Smurfs" (1981)

Soundtrack:

For He's a Jolly Good Fellow

"A Good Year" was a good movie...

I thought the movie was very good... Much better than I expected from the previews.

It's not going to be a Best-Picture Oscar winning movie (I think that should go to "The Departed") but it is not intended to be...

If you need explosions, sex and violence every 10 seconds to keep your attention then no this film is not for you. If you just want a relaxing, well-acted, non-American crappy plot popcorn movie then go check it out.

Well worth the $11 for the ticket which is getting pretty hard to say nowadays...
