             For some reason I thought this film took place in Australia. Alas, it’s about wine production in California, which interests me not at all. But Alan Rickman is in it.

            On the DVD box it says if you liked Sideways you’d like this. I didn’t like Sideways, so…

            I don’t like this one either. It’s trite and uninteresting. Its only asset is Rickman and he gets the *.
