Wine Country

I'd never heard of this movie, but I was excited when I saw the cast. Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, and Rachel Dratch? I just knew this was going to be so hilarious that my ribs would be in pain from laughing.

Let me say, this movie was proof for me that one should never judge a book, or movie, by it's cover.

While there were some occasional chuckles, I was disappointed. It seems like it was supposed to be a grown woman buddy dramedy, but it missed the mark for me. It was more like six woman who are "friends", in the gossiping behind each other's backs and not being totally honest with each other sense.

While that is true for some people, and with a different plot, may have worked in a different setting, I just fill like this was a bit of a let down for me. I say that because I was hoping for way more humor from the cast than I got.

I think people can read too much into things. It didn't try to be clever or stand out. It's enjoyable and a good comedy. I laughed throughout. Sometimes it's good to enjoy films where you don't have to concentrate on the plot or get too involved with the characters. Unpretentious and just a group of friends having a laugh. I'm also British so the dry humour, which I recognise is on purpose in most parts, is actually funny to me. Not the funniest or best film I've seen but I don't regret watching it. I feel they didn't try too hard which stops it being cringey. Everyone's taste in films is different and normally I am fussy with comedy's as I'm used to saractic shows and films, for example the British version of the office. However I didn't mind this at all. Would recommend to watch with a glass on wine :).

Half the cast of Bridesmaids, but a Netflix knock off. Pretty much like a grown ups version but with women, minus the kids. Much like modern Adam Sandler comedies, this leaves a lot to be desired. This movie just tries too hard and it's really hard to relate to any of the characters. There are some good moments but it's a tough watch overall.

It's a shame my one little vote can't lift this movie's score to the 6.5 it should be. Most complaints are that they weren't funny enough, there wasn't enough action and goofy events and crazy fun. I'm so glad there wasn't. This movie script created a group of real women who are each having a problem or two that they are not dealing with well, and covering it up. They are funny but not hilarious. Do any of us have hilarious crazy fun every time we are with our friends once we hit middle age? It's real. And it's got a good message. Just watch it and stop expecting every movie to be a dang blockbuster hit and crying that it's not worthy if it isn't. Enjoy.

I loved this movie. So much fun. All of these ladies, their personalities and their humor work really well together. Maya Rudolph is definitely a highlight, but they're all great. A laid back, goofy comedy that I think really gets to at real things people go through as they get older. Great stuff.
