Been hearing good stuff about this movie but it's not out here in the UK until the end of January. I really like Paul G, excellent actor in my opinion. Has anyone here seen it yet?

Been hearing good stuff about this movie but it's not out here in the UK until the end of January. I really like Paul G, excellent actor in my opinion. Has anyone here seen it yet? Yep, I've seen it. Started to write a review and then I figured nobody would care. It was all right. There was some really funny stuff in it, and the acting is very good, but the movie dragged quite a bit in a few places. Focusing on the intricacies of wine tasting can get a bit boring after a while. I couldn't help but roll my eyes when the object of Paul Giamatti's affection started talking to him about why she liked a certain wine, and she was saying it very passionately, and of course Paul is mesmerized, etc. etc. And there's one scene where this fat dude runs out of his house, completely naked, with his business flappin' in the wind. I really don't need to see that. Note to Young Riders fans: the guy is M.C. Gainey, none other than Gabe Calder! You'll see more of him than you ever wanted to. It's definitely an Oscar-type movie. The acting is strong, there is some very clever humor, and the overly dramatic stretches can be a bit much.
