this movie unfortunately have not one iota to compare with sideways in case anyone be tell you such bull . the script be slow and trite and only have one part that be fairly interesting which be the fact about the blind taste in paris and and the directing be so amateurish tv style that it scream movie of the week . the father or son relationship doesn not work and the over do helicopter shot make you dizzy like it a glossy infomercial for gallo wine and and the sunlight thru the pepsi ad commercial barn house feel like directing of a michael bay wan na be and and how on earth do they pick these horrible young actor that be way too pretty to be anything but a tv soap star or model even the bartender have glossy lipstick that make her look like a coyote ugly girl rather than some 70 hippie bar chick . and how many time can they cut to the father or son box each other . but it all come down to a boring script that just drag along instead of someone edit half the movie out . and move forward past the paris contest . which be sad because this story could have be so much more but a they always say . it the script and script and script . and this one stick with no connection to the character it be so flat . i almost walk out if it have it not be for the brief moment of the paris moment with rickman or farina . yet the california one be unbearable . and im a wine lover that think perhaps they would create some decent moment but nothing . and poor bill pullman do the best he could but these young actor should go back to soap opera and stay away from film and the director stick to tv directing or commercial . i give it a 1 because i have to buy my friend a glass of wine to revive him after fall asleep halfway thru the movie after yet another car break down to create some suspense . yawwwwwnnnnnn . oh and how about the girl water down the tackle . yeah . real nice sexist wan na be playboy soft porn . truly embarrass .
