A buddy-cum-road movie, Sideways meditates on coming to terms with middle age and facing life’s disappointments. Yet it remains warm, up lifting and comic throughout: not a hint of melancholy or regret here.
A great big 10 out of 10.
Director: Alexander Payne Staring: Paul Giamatti……Thomas Haden Church
