A feel-good movie that highlights the beauty of France as much as it does its stars, A Good Year provides a languid, gorgeous viewing experience. Director Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe--who first worked together on the Academy Award-winning Gladiator--are reunited in this romantic film, which is based on Peter Mayle's book A Year in Provence. Crowe plays Max, a workaholic London bonds trader who doesn't know the meaning of vacation. When his uncle dies, leaving him a picturesque estate in the south of France, Max views it as an opportunity to cash in the vinery and pocket the profits. The film is reminiscent of Diane Lane's Under the Tuscan Sun in the way the scenery plays as much of a role in the film as its characters. The lush village and streaming sunlight portray Provence as an idyllic, magical place. Even Max falls under its spell. While not a particularly likeable character, especially in the early part of the film, Max also isn't a bad guy. When he gets the chance to live life at a less manic pace than which he is used to, he finds that a good year isn't dependant on a financial windfall. Though Scott tries to drum up some suspense in the film (Is the beautiful visitor really Max's illegitimate cousin? Will Max fall in love with the feisty local woman he trades quips with?) nothing that happens comes as much of a surprise. Still, while the film doesn't fully utilize Crowe's range of skills, the actor is charming in his role and A Good Year provides a fine time in the cinemas. --Jae-Ha Kim

We enjoyed this movie for it is a lot like "Bottle Shock" but more human. The cast was great and it is almost like what life is like for the people who works at the wineries.

My review is quite succinct. I enjoyed the film A Good Year, I purchased it on
Amazon.com so I could have it sent to my sister-in-law in the States. She received
it safely and will watch it soon. I live in England and use Amazon.co.uk over here
quite successfully. Being able to avoid the "across the pond" postage is a real
benefit.

Great book, miserable 'adaptation'. If you read the charming book by Peter Mayle, avoid this movie at all costs!

After reading the reviews for this movie on Amazon, I was somewhat disappointed when I finally got to watch it. The movie is mediocre, and moves along slowly. A lot of issues are never addressed that come up in the movie, and most of it is forgotten when Russell Crowe's character gets the girl.
All in all this movie is better to rent or borrow from the libary than purchase unless you're a die-hard fan of one of the actors. There are some pretty views of the French countryside, ... Read More

I really LOVE this movie! It was easy enough to order it through the Amazon Market place. It was at my house in less than a week. It was actually the first movie I received out of my order. Really glad to get it.
