While rolling $13 worth of pennies this past Sunday night, I watched Bottle Shock with my mom. She is a very amateur wine connoisseur and enjoys watching movies in which real wine life takes place.
Sideways was, perhaps, the beginning of this new start in her life. I can still remember sitting with her on the sofa and watching that movie, parts of which made me feel very awkward.
This movie was, however, much more accessible. You do not need to know nearly as much about wine to enjoy Bottle Shock, and it was a lot less adult (always a plus while watching a movie with a parent).
Alan Rickman’s dry British humor can’t help but make you laugh. Chris Pine was a relatable, hippy-esque teenager just trying to find his place in the world. It was nice to see Bill Pullman in a movie again. And I am sure we will see Rachael Taylor in another movie very soon.
For those of you enjoy a good laugh and an interesting twist to the American dream, check it out. By the end, you will be rooting for Napa Valley.
