Russell Crowe is miscast in the lead of 'A Good Year'. While he is believable as a tough stock-broker, he looks totally out of place in rural France. Slapstick comedy is clearly not his forte and the role needed someone with a lighter touch. In fact, Tom Hollander, who plays Crowe's buddy in the film, would probably have made a better lead. Still, its not all bad. The scenery is gorgeous, and Albert Finney turns in an assured supporting performance. Marion Cotillard looks beautiful but has little chemistry with Crowe. The film is watchable preferably at home on TV/DVD.
Overall 6/10
