It was rated 4 *. I would give it a bit less even if I did enjoy it. In short, it is the story of two male friends who spend a week together in California wine country before one of them gets married. They are opposites and have very different agendas. The groom to be wants to get laid\u2026his friend wants to drink wine. There are some funny scenes but the format is a bit choppy\u2026There is a lot of wine talk\u2026which is not that informative \u2026The scenery shots are nice\u2026I had an uneasy feeling about the characters\u2019 personal hygiene\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The second movie though not as original was more enjoyable for me. It was called: \u201cShall we dance?\u201d with Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon and Jennifer Lopez. It is the story of a fortyish lawyer who decides to take up ballroom dancing. He does not tell his wife\u2026because he feels ashamed to need something more to be happy when he knows he has everything at home\u2026I am very partial to Gere and Sarandon\u2026and in this movie they are so well dressed\u2026it contrasted with the dirty T shirts of the first movie\u2026A girl\u2019s movie for sure and very American\u2026but heh!
