Description

"Oscar-winner Russell Crowe reunites with Gladiator director Ridley Scott in A Good Year, a Fox 2000 Pictures presentation. Max Skinner (Russell Crowe) is a highly successful investment expert with no time for life outside work. When his estranged uncle dies, Max inherits the vineyard in France where he grew up as a child, and his first intention is to sell the vineyard as quickly as possible. But after spending unexpected time at the Vineyard in France, he discovers a part of himself that he had lost and experiences romance and a blossoming new love affair with a beautiful French woman that changes his life forever. A Good Year is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Peter Mayle."

    A lovely light hearted enjoyable film - not for those wanting something serious. Makes such a change to find a film with next to no swearing or violence.

  • Feel good film

    One of the few films I watch over and over again. Very watchable, amusing, and well played by Russell Crowe.

    A lovely easy watch. Russell plays a rather likeable unlikeable guy,. The neglect of his uncle is too real and therefore rather sad, I am sure in the world we live in it is not an uncommon story - and this gives rise to the moral of the film - I am sure there is something every work crazy/mobile/ipad/computer/absorbed/ junkie can take away from this film. We should all remember to take time out to notice the real world and simple moments around us. Good mid-week tired from work or lazy Sunday watch. Watch this if you are ok with simple, slightly cliched, beautiful films. Do not watch if you like lots of action and fast paced drama.

  • Invaluable lesson in life!

    One of my absolute favourites. A subtle reminder of what really matters in a now all too materialistic life. Great acting, breathtaking scenery and gentle soundtrack - thank you Ridley Scott.

    Beautifully filmed - but the characters are infuriatingly cardboard. Disappointing stereotypes.

  • Poor

    Unlike everyone else on here I thought it was badly scripted and Russell Crowe's character was unpleasant and boorish and the end implausible. There was nothing to like about it apart from the scenery. Shame as I like the book it's taken from.

    Easy to watch film, absorbing and witty.

  • A bad film

    If you like the kind of film where people say stuff like: "I haven't eaten oranges ever since my brother was killed by the mafia while out buying oranges in London, England, where I live now because I moved here after my mother died so I can plot my revenge against the people who killed my brother" Then you'll love this movie. If on the other hand, that sort of exposition makes you cringe, you'll hate this movie.

  • Great movie, get comfortable on the sofa, with a nice glass of wine
