I just rewatched this masterpiece. I still can't believe that Paul Giamatti didn't get at least an Oscar nomination for one of the most heartbreaking performances ever. His heart visibly shatters at least 3 times in this film, and the scene at Jack's wedding where he learns his ex is pregnant is one of the most impressive pieces of acting, I've ever seen. Let's not forget Thomas Haden Church in his Oscar nominated role as Jack, the douchebag actor just trying to get a final fling in before his wedding. Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh are also amazing in supporting roles. Especially Madsen, with her monologue about why she loves wine, and her voicemail at the end. The cinematography is beautiful, the writing is wry and hilarious and also deeply heartfelt.  I love this movie.

This movie was hilarious.  Paul Giamatti should have gotten an oscar for his portal of a middle-aged man going thru a mid-life crisus.  Virginia MAdson also gave an amzing performance as his love interest.

The movie has some of the funniest scenes I've seen in a long time.  Two buddies take a road trip for the week to wine country.  One of them, played by Thomas Church, is about to get married but wants one last fling.

This is a great movie to watch with a glass of one, or two.
