this movie stunk. a comedy? really? i was so bored i had to fast forward through the end. paul giamatti...what a pathetic loser. i could hardly look at him, he gave me the creeps. thomas haden church i loved from "wings," but what a scumbag. i wanted to like it, but this film was so unbelievable. the metaphors of wine = characters --Virginia Madsen talking to Giamatti about her passion for wine (how they reach their peak and are different with time)-- were like a hammer hitting my head. and who the hell uses the word "extricate" in a sentence...esp. when talking about a prior relationship? this movie is up there with "Welcome to the Dollhouse."
