Title: The Stage Was Set: Crowe, Scott, and..........Ugh!
Product review: I came into this movie with such high expectations, how could one not? I mean you have an A-list actor and director in Crowe and Scott respectively, and this "intoxicating" vineyard in France as the backdrop of the story, with ROMANCE being the main theme. At no point was I emotionally connected to any of the characters. The French Chic was hardly in the movie, about 1:30 mins in she becomes a "major player". I kept looking at my DVD running time wondering when this alleged ROMANCE was going to develop! That being said you have the typical filler characters (the daughter, the vitners assistant) blah blah blah. They spent too much time with Crowe going back and forth about selling the place, without ever developing the emotional/romantic connection that he was "awoken" too. For all the men, I urge you to pass this up when you and the lady are browsing the new releases, just tell them some guy on [...] told you "it sucked".
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
