i stick with this movie because ( 1 ) i hop to learn more about wine making ( 2 ) the photography be a plus and a a travelogue it be be enlighten . but almost every scene in california seem to have be write by a teen ager who know only cute . or perhaps someone wear pink lensed glass . sweet be the word for this movie . overly sweet . saccharine . ramshackle car and truck on their last leg truck predominate and show u that everyone be on their last nickle . a young girl intern live in a cabin right out of han christian anderson . the art director and whoever build the cabin must have be live out a childhood fairy tale . it be a perfect cabin and perch on a little hill top and in the midst of mile of grape vine and under the heavenly blue sky usually see on hallmark greeting card . only toto be miss . on the other hand the moment that alan rickman and denis farina get to work and i felt like they bring their own writer . funny and intelligent and and engage and most of their scene be fine . although someone think that farina wasn not quite enough of a character so he be constantly dress in very noisy sport jacket and one that may have be cut from some surplus horse blanket . more cuteness and i guess . also and he give an elvis pompadour to wear farina be a strong enough character on his own and he doesn not need any prop to make him more than he be on his own . maybe the director be insecure or never learn that less be more . everything in this movie be too cute and over sugar . there be the usual father son conflict . there be actually a boxing ring set up on the verge of the vineyard so that dad and son can go to it in the ring . i know you do not believe me but you will see it when you get to this film . the writer and director must have be classmate at the california college of cliché .
