Like I said last month in the the "Napoleon Dynamite" review, I seem to always be the last one on earth to see the hip new movies, but I do eventually get around to seeing them.
"Sideways" is a gem. It combines humor and humility in a beautiful way and illustrates the chemistry behind two people that have been best friends for most of their lives like Miles, played by Paul Giamatti, and Jack, played by Thomas Haden Church. Miles is the wounded bird after divorce and professional rejection and and has salt poured in both wounds during the extended bachelor party California countryside road trip he takes with Jack, who seems to have never doubted himself a day in his life. The polar opposite personality types are very true to many long friendships and in the end, they might still drive each other crazy, but they are still friends. I don't want to give away any more of the movie to those who haven't seen it. It is funny and solid all the way through and has a wonderful soundtrack that features the band Luna to boot. Go see this movie!
