Sideways (2004)

Director: Alexander Payne
Writers:  Rex Pickett, Alexander Payne, Jim Taylor
Cast:      Paul Giamatti, Thomas Haden Church, Virginia Madsen
Two men reaching middle age with not much to show but disappointment, embark on a week long road trip through California's wine country, just as one is about to take a trip down the aisles.

Was watching it for the second time and found it as good as the first watch. Not as dark as Payne's other film 'About Schmidt', but a brilliant character played by Paul Giamatti. It is criminal that he didn't win an Oscar for his role, but who gives a fuck about the academy. Film was also remade in Japanese.

Rating: 5/5
