YOU don’t have to be a wine lover to enjoy Sideways (Fox), but it helps!
Alexander Payne’s direction is spot on (think About Schmidt), but the casting of Paul Giamatti (Miles) and Thomas Haden Church (Jack) as two friends who set out on a tour of vineyards to celebrate Jack’s upcoming marriage is electric.
This amusing adventure is a delight to watch, and like all good wines, should be savoured.
DVD extras include audio commentary by Giamatti and Church, a behind the scenes featurette, seven deleted scenes and three Easter eggs.
