Title: A Bad Vintage
Review: When you think of a romantic comedy set in Provence, the names Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott do not come to mind - hence this leaden 2006 adaptation of Peter Mayle's novel. Despite a colorful supporting cast and Philippe Le Sourd's location photography, director Scott and a charmless Crowe (who could play Hamlet but not Hugh Grant) mishandle the cinematic soufflé. "A Good Year" collapses during its first reel and never recovers.
