Storyline

In honor of Rebecca (Rachel Dratch)'s 50th birthday, Abby (Amy Poehler) plans a scenic Napa getaway with their best, longtime friends. Workaholic Catherine (Ana Gasteyer), post-op Val (Paula Pell), homebody Jenny (Emily Spivey), and weary mom Naomi (Maya Rudolph) are equally sold on the chance to relax and reconnect. Yet as the alcohol flows, real world uncertainties intrude on the punchlines and gossip, and the women begin questioning their friendships and futures. A hilarious and heartfelt comedy directed by Poehler, Wine Country co-stars Tina Fey, Jason Schwartzman and Cherry Jones.

Trivia

Poehler said on the Busy Tonight show that one of the film's funniest props-the CPAP machine her character uses to help her sleep-actually belongs to her. "You know how Bradley Cooper used his real dog in A Star Is Born?" Poehler said. "I used my real CPAP machine."

Goofs

The characters say multiple times that Rebecca's birthday is on a Sunday; however, while they are in the ER they are able to call Naomi's doctor's office to ask about her test results. It is unlikely that a GP's office would be open on a Sunday.

User Reviews

Take A Nap Instead

This movie couldn't possibly be more boring if it tried. Nothing happens, there's no actual storyline. It seems like a group of friends sitting around writing a first draft of a movie they want to make. The entire thing is a plotless, pointless, boring, unrelated batch of scenes Frankensteined together. What a waste of the time and talents of a great cast. Sorry, Amy; this goes in the "Fail" column.
