"SIDEWAYS" I saw the most perfect movie Saturday and again yesterday.

This is a very funny, excellent film, as perfect as a film I've yet seen, never makes one bad move, and a perfect ending. You've got to see it!

"It seems like the word ‘perfect’ is used far too often in movie reviews these days, so much so that the word has all but lost its meaning.

Like a perfect Pinot Noir, Alexander Payne’s latest film is an intoxicating mix of adult bitterness, lush Santa Barbara vineyards and the year’s early standout male performance.

This movie is the ‘perfect romantic comedy!’ That movie is ‘perfect for audiences of all ages!’ Another is simply ‘perfectly entertaining!’ But when is a movie really perfect? When it does its job? Hardly. When it satisfies some temporary longing in the viewer for emotional verisimilitude? Occasionally. But when a movie is truly perfect, it’s just that - not a characterization out of place, nor a plot point too heavily tread upon. And Sideways is, truly and sincerely, as perfect a movie as I’ve seen."

so I doubt I'd enjoy it. Otherwise, I'm sure it's good.

Once again, read Ebert's review, it's as accurate and exact a review of this movie you'll ever read.

so do any of you get why it was called sideways?

i can't believe the folks i've talked to didn't get it.

Along with one feeling they are sideways (or literally) after enjoying those many wonderful bottles of wine!

to read as an introspection on life, comparing to wine... he said early in the movie that you tilt the glass of wine sideways to really tell its age and understand it... he, too, was at his "mid"point in life -- yaddda, yadda.

I have been wanting to see that for awhile and appreciate the confirmation.

I thought Ned and Stacy (with Debra Messing) was a really cute show.
Okay, I saw like 3 episodes. Maybe that's all they made.

I knew Paul Giamatti was in this, but I didn't know Ned was in it!

Kidding, everyone should enjoy this film. I thought it was well-acted, well-written and well-directed. As soon as I left the movie theatre, I went to the well of wine. If you see this movie, you must get a bottle of wine beforehand to drink afterward. You will need it.

make a cameo appearance in the funniest scene I've seen in a movie this year.
