Review of Sideways

Sideways (2004)
2/10
Painfully Boring
11 January 2006
I won't say this is the worst movie I ever saw, but when you go into a movie, actually only watching the movie because of all the great things you have heard about it, and are so bored that it's a chore to sit through, than yes, to me it does become a candidate for one of the worst movies.

Yes, yes, the acting was wonderful and the scenery breathtaking but if I had it to do over again I would have preferred spending the time watching a TV show on the California wine country and would venture to say I would have enjoyed it far more.

I am very tired of people with inflated egos who complain that those of us who didn't like it, aren't "connecting to the characters" or are missing "nuances" that I guess are only afforded to those sophisticated enough to sit through this very dull film. I am also tired of people using the fact that it had "very honest dialogue" as a reason to love this movie.

Sorry folks, but in this reviewer's opinion, the emperor really has no clothes.
