Sideways

SIDEWAYS
Directed by: Alexander Payne
The Best Comedy of the Year
**** Stars
Miles Faymond (Giamatti), a middle school teacher/failed novelist struggling through his divorce, and his soon to be married friend Jack (Church) take a trip in California, tasting wine and thinking about their future and asking themselves questions about their directions in life. You must be asking how can this movie be funny and original? Well, the only way you can know the truth is to go see this movie, which is one of the funniest, and the most original movie in years.
While Miles and Jack are on their trip, Jack wants to get laid one last time before his wedding. But little does he know that once he meets a girl named Stephanie (Oh), he soon becomes unsure about his upcoming marriage.
Meanwhile Miles meets up with his old friend Maya in which he soon becomes involved with. Giving away anymore of the movie will spoil it. All I can say is to experience this beautifully adapted with rare emotion and humor that will purely give you the answer to why they invented movies.
