"Sideways" Movie Trailer

"Sideways" Movie Synopsis: A wine tasting road trip to salute Jack’s (Thomas Haden Church) final days as a bachelor careens woefully sideways as he and Miles (Paul Giamatti) hit the gas en route to mid-life crises. The comically mismatched pair, who share little more than their history and a heady blend of failed potential and fading youth, soon find themselves drowning in wine and women (Sandra Oh and Virginia Madsen). Emerging from a haze of pinot noir, wistful yearnings and trepidation about the future, the two inevitably collide with reality.

"Sideways" was helmed by the critically acclaimed Alexander Payne, who wrote the screenplay with his longtime screenwriting partner Jim Taylor based on the novel of the same name by Rex Pickett. Payne and Taylor won a Golden Globe in 2003 for the screenplay of "About Schmidt" and share Academy Award®, Independent Spirit Award and Writers Guild of America Award nominations for the adapted screenplay of "Election," for which Payne also won a Best Directing Independent Spirit Award. Payne's directorial and screenwriting debut was the Laura Dern-starrer "Citizen Ruth," which won the Sundance Jury Prize in 1996.
