Two buddies go wine-tasting and soul-searching.
Who should watch
People who enjoy good acting.
Thoughts
A well done movie, but no match for 'Million Dollar Baby' in terms of greatness. I enjoyed the acting, especially the subtle performances of Paul Giamatti and Virginia Madsen. The dialogue was excellent and funny. And despite the characters being elitists, they were very human. In terms of Alexander Payne's efforts, I liked 'About Schmidt' better.
What I would change
Lowered the hype.
