Sideways is not sidesplitting...
Despite the claims on the DVD cover, this film is anything but "outrageously funny". The lead character adopts a morose expression all the way through the film, and his "comic" best friend poorly delivers his supposedly amusing lines in his surfer-esque voice. However, if you can sit through the boring and uneventful first hour, the pace begins to quicken (if only slightly) and more laughs are to be had in the second half. The style of Sideways is that of a teen film (say American Pie), just age the characters by 20 years and give them wine instead of beer. Nothing much is accomplished during the film, although its ending should be praised for going against that of so many other films. Overall, this film is probably best enjoyed with a glass (or six) of wine.

Review Orginal script , but a boring one , focing to much of wine and the jargon that surrounds it. Only the later part of the film before it becomes interesting.

Dear oh dear. A very disappointing insight into mid-life crises. Two socially dysfuntional men fail to make any inroads or develop any understanding of the mid-life crises. There are very few scenes which you will find enjoyable just scene after scene of pure dross. Stay away from this film.
