Sideways

...är en slirig och inte sällan charmerande road movie som väcker vissa fromma förhoppningar om töntens upprättelse.

...extrasmart, extrasnygg måbrafilm...

...not concerned with heroes, just people: small people, bruised people, rumpled people - people like Miles (...), a depressed, divorced wannabe novelist...

Payne, adapting Rex Pickett's novel here, seems established as the poet of middle-aged underachievers, and as well as being very funny, a lot of Sideways's dialogue rings true...
