A story about a greedy broker who turns into a good vineyard owner. I don't buy it...
An ok movie with great perfomances and nice places.6.8/10
Enjoyable, envy-inducing and highly unbelievable in the already fantastical world of rom-coms.
Why?
Russell Crowe's character is thoroughly unlikeable. A snotty British accent doesn't forgive being a sad excuse for a human being.
So... a woman falling love with him is sceptical. A goddess like Marion Cottilard is just plain ludicrous.
The setting is fantastic and Albert Finney is a joy as always. The story is slight and deserved more meat on the bone.
(And as someone from the financial markets world, I'd have liked for the representation to at least have a whiff of truth to it...!)
7/10
dvd has a good 1st & 3rd music video.
