A funny and vulnerable film.

Great drama, great comedy, great characters. The four leads are perfectly cast. I would've never thought I'd find Sandra Oh sexy but she's just that in this. And like the rest of the film it's never blatant and all the more real for it. Cruise&Clooney were campaigning for the leads and god bless Payne for saying no. He knew he was fashioning something smaller but more refined. No "jokes" here, just humor that's a natural outgrowth of the characters and the situations they find themselves in.

very smart and quite gutting. if you can't relate to Miles and all his faults, you won't like the film. plain and simple. but if you've ever feared loneliness and failure and regret, i think you can relate.

Count me in amongst the few people that didn't get it. Although I do have to say that Paul Giamatti was excellent here.

Another movie that hits a little too close to home.

Not my thing. To be fair, I am 20 years old and not the target demographic.

This movie is essentially about a depressed balding middle aged man moping over his unfulfilling life and obsessing about wine. The acting is pretty solid and the interaction is funny at times but the movie generally meanders and seems to ascribe emotional profoundness over nothing really. What really carries the film is the fantastic Southern Californian wine country scenery and the dialog over wine which is quoted with hipsters and film nerds alike.

What oft was thought but so rarely expressed. A cinematic treasure.

Good comedy with a solid ensemble cast. It's never overly interesting or engaging but it's certainly never boring either.
