After months of friends yelping at me, "WHAT? You haven't seen Sideways yet? You should--you'll love it!--it's great!" I finally watched it last night.
I got a big kick out of Sandra Oh breaking Thomas Haden-Church's nose with her motorcycle helmet, but other than that, it appears to be a documentary about why I left Northern California (even though it was filmed in Southern California). Could someone please tell me what is so great about this movie?
Thank you.

It is a momentary detour [1 week] in the linear projection of one's life - "the straight and narrow" that we all seem to have to adhere to [at least for me in my line of work]. It could just as well have been a week with your sweetheart in Boston with tickets to Fenway Park to see three Bosox vs Yankee games. That sounds just incredible!

When the rest of us saw Sideways we had minimal expectations in a year of forgettable movies. We were delighted to have stumbled upon this light yet T S Eliot little film. By the time you got to it it had so much inflated press that you were expecting Gone With The Wind. What a shame, but oh well.
