Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
(2004) In Alexander Payne's bittersweet comedy, two buddies, Miles (Paul Giamatti) and Jack (Thomas Haden Church), embark on Jack's stag week, a tasting trip around California's wine country, with wine buff Miles leading the way. Miles may be a wine expert but he's also a bitter divorcee, depressed and in love with a waitress, Maya (VIrginia Marsden), whose presence always leaves him tongue-tied. Jack is a faded actor who can't quite resign himself to marriage when there are still obtainable women in the world, married or not, and when he meets Stephanie (Sandra Oh) at a tasting, he swears Miles to secrecy about the wedding. And so the foursome continue their trip... Alexander Payne's Oscar and BAFTA-winning road trip is a classic of friendship and crisis, with four outstanding leads.
