HIGH DEF UNIVERSE

Directed by Alexander Payne, this breathlessly funny comedy stars Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church as Miles and Jack, old college buddies who take a wine-tasting road trip through California’s famed central coast to celebrate Jack’s upcoming nuptials. But Miles’ desire to savor the regions’ wines suddenly takes a back seat to Jack’s desire to sample its women! Co-starring Sandra Oh and Virginia Madsen, Sideways “has it all: inspired direction…bracing wit and emotional gravity” (Rolling Stone)!
