Alexander Payne directs this acclaimed, award-winning comedy-drama starring Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church. Miles Raymond, a depressed, unsuccessful writer and wine enthusiast, takes his best friend Jack—a washed-up actor on the verge of marriage—on a celebratory road trip through California's Santa Ynez Valley wine country. While Miles wants to relax and savor fine Pinot Noir, Jack is desperate to squeeze out one final week of freedom. When they pair up with two local women, Maya and Stephanie, their mismatched priorities send the trip hilariously and painfully sideways.
