"Sideways" I just saw it and loved it.

Did you think it was one of the better movies?

[Guaranteed]

1. Of this year? Oh hell yeah.

That and "Eternal Sunshine" were the best movies I saw this year, by far.

2. Saw it Friday and also thoroughly enjoyed it

Paul Giamatti is rapidly becoming one of the few actors whose name alone will draw me in.

6. ever since the "I was told to pick up a blue car. But I wasn't told there

would be a blue man" line in that Fred Munoz(sp) movies about the stolen script, he has been on a role.

3. omg, i loved it too.

4. That's exactly what my wife said..........."these were real people".

[fluffernutter]

8. i agree, GREAT writing!

5. I agree it was a good flick. Made me terrifically uncomfortable

though. People around me were laughing as if it were slapstick. But for me, the blend of "The Out of Towners" with "Days of Wine and Roses" was unsettling. Due in no small part to my own er, relationship, with alcohol I'm sure.

9. that one dinner scene with all 4 of them

where they drank SO much wine made ME feel drunk while watching it. and you could totally feel the desperation and welling upsetness of the character thinking about his ex Victoria.

10. Question: what do you all think the title 'Sideways' meant?

we all had a big discussion afterward about the meaning of that title for the movie. any thoughts?

[LibDemAlways]

12. I think it meant these guys weren't moving forward.

There was hope for Giamatti at the end, though. None for Haden-Church. That marriage was going to last 10 minutes.

[Guaranteed]

15. They were driving around on backroads....

you know- "side-ways." :)

[LibDemAlways]

11. Well-written and well-acted.

Giamatti and Virginia Madsen, revealing themselves while talking about wine - great stuff. Thomas Haden Church - getting what's coming to him - hilarious. A documentary feel because the locations were real - very few names even changed. A must see.

14. Am I the only one who thought it was boring

I'll admit it was well acted but, eh. It did nothing for me.

16. I also loved it - just saw it last week...

I thought it was great, and my favorite scene was where he went to get the wallet from the waitress's house - it still makes me laugh - she was using HIM too.

[fluffernutter]

17. that was great

i was scared her husband was going to be so pissed too ... lmao when he chased after the car *hahahaha*
