Action Adventure Comedy Drama Romance

7.5 / 10

A week before his friend Jack is to be married, best man Miles and the prospective groom head off to wine country for a week of fun, relaxation and - of course - wine drinking. Miles is the oenophile and does his best to teach Jack a bit about the art of appreciating great wine. All Jack cares about is drinking and carousing, something he accomplishes when he meets the attractive Stephanie at one of the vineyards. Miles is something of a sad sack, a high school English teacher who is a failed writer at heart. He has yet to get over the fact that his wife has divorced him and that she has remarried and he now faces that nerve racking wait for word from a prospective publisher. Miles has an opportunity to start anew when he meets Stephanie's friend Maya but when he let's slip that Jack is about to be married any hope of a relationship seems to be lost.

Being middle aged and having my dreams crushed in one fell realization is my absolute #1 nightmare. The grey, "normal" life of a 40-ish adult absolutely terrifies me to the point I cannot bring myself to watch this movie even though I know it's a comedy and probably light-hearted/easy-going to boot. Shit, man. - @Wednesday, June 8, 2016 8:18 PM

So glad I didn't watch the trailer before seeing the movie. They might as well just tell the audience how it ends. - @Wednesday, September 23, 2015 4:52 AM

I saw the trailer before I saw the movie. Sure, the trailer gives away too much, but that didn't affect my enjoyment of the movie (I also read the book first). - @Monday, June 15, 2015 10:24 PM

I recall seeing this trailer 10 odd years ago when I was about 11/12 and remember it just really struck a chord with me. I felt like this is a movie about life and living, from the music to the characters and the decisions, this is life. And that's all I got from he trailer. I didn't actually end up seeing the movie until I was 19, it remains a massive regret because this is one of the best movies I've ever seen! It told me a lot about myself and my life and remains a classic in my eyes. At 21, it's still great! - @Wednesday, July 9, 2014 12:15 AM
