A Good Year

2008-10-03
A very fine portrayal of a man who has driven himself off track, then rediscovers himself and the important things in life through surprising twists and turns.

Great movie!

We loved this movie and will, no doubt, watch it more then once as it is just a feel good movie.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the wine.

I love this movie! You want to get away without leaving your house, pop this movie in with nice glass of wine. Other than Gladiator, I truly believe that this is Russel Crowes finest movies. You always feel good after watching this movie.

romance

THIS IS A WONDERFUL FILM. A HAPPY FILM WITH NO VIOLENCE, JUST JOY.
I RECOMMEND THE ROMANTIC COMEDY FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY. A MUST!!!!!

Odd movie for Crowe and Scott

2008-08-13
I didn't enjoy this movie as much as I thought I would. I never do connect with Skinner and I felt the romance was just a convenient subplot. I wasn't sure if the cousin or the waitress was supposed to be the love interest for a while there. But overall, I felt this film was a male version of Under the Tuscan Sun. (France instead of Italy.) I didn't believe Skinner's transformation. Nothing in this captured my heart the way it should have. There was a few storylines just dropped. I thought the best friend and the cousin would become an item. But I did enjoy the soundtrack.

A film for only a few

A good year

2008-06-22
I had read some of the terrible reviews this movie received, so I was somewhat surprised to enjoy A Good Year as much as I did. Russell Crowe manages to be quite charming when he's not throwing phones at bellboys, and he makes his character if not exactly likeable, which would have been impossible, then at least compelling. Marion Cotillard, Abbie Cornish and the great Albert Finney make a good supporting cast.

A joy to watch

This movie is all about live and making the right decisions. On top of that you have great cultural humor between the French and the British. Ridley Scott knows his stuff. He created a classic with Alien and another classic with this one. I watched it already too many times, but enjoy it again and again.

Great Movie

I get bored easily with movies. But this has become one of my all times favorites. I've probably watched it now 10 times.

Sneaks up on you good.

I love everything about this movie. It's fun to watch a self-centered, city man gradually become the caring person he had shut off inside.
Great characters, beautiful place, funny and moving film!
