So this weekend we went to see Sideways and thoughroughly enjoyed it. Not your typical buddy flick. This one hurts sometimes and stretches credibility a bit towards the end. But I laughed out loud several times and there are a few exceptionally well done scenes that really convey a lot without having to hit you over the head with it.
Thomas Hayden Church (yes, that guy from Wings) takes a great turn as the womanizing part time actor and Paul Giamatti proves once again that angst ridden balding middle aged men can be interesting.
Don*t go expecting to feel good for the whole movie. Depending on your opinion of the characters, the ending will leave you feeling good but I wouldn*t say its a guarantee. It should also be noted that my fiance mentioned that the characters reminded her of extreme versions of Jason and I. Not the most flattering comparison ever made.
All in all, worth the trip to the theater.
