Product Description
The newest screenplay from the Oscar®-nominated writers of Election and About Schmidt, Sideways is the tale of two men's adventure in California wine country.
Based on Rex Pickett's acclaimed first novel, Sideways tells the story of Miles (Paul Giamatti), a failed novelist, and his soon-to-be-married friend Jack (Thomas Haden Church), a washed-up actor.To salute the remains of their youth, the two men take one last road trip in the week before Jack's wedding.A serious wine enthusiast, Miles is determined to educate his friend on the region's beloved Pinot Noir wines before the week is out.
Jack indulges his best friend's passion for the grape but is mainly interested in living his last week of bachelorhood to the hilt.Trouble ensues with wine and women (Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh), and the duo comes to some profound realizations as they come to terms with maturity.

Outstanding, Jun 8 2007
By L. Giles - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sideways: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
The first time I watched the film, I couldn't get through it. There was very little that was likable about the characters, and I chose not to spend 2 hours with losers. Seeing all of the critical acclaim it received, I decided to watch it again... and loved it the second time around. Reading the screenplay made me love it even more! I could stop and savor the writing, noting how each scene ends provacatively. It's a very adult piece, and one must be very open-minded and not judgmental when reading the screenplay or watching the film.LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

This review is from: Sideways: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
I loved the movie. On impulse, I sought out the screen play because I wanted to see how the story looked on paper. The experience was illuminating for the insight it provided me in how movies are crafted. But more importantly, being able to pause at an interesting passage of dialog, to enjoy it more completely, enabled me to control the pace of the story. Lastly, the screenplay is very good writing, and a joy to read.

This review is from: Sideways: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
This script was in perfect condition, and was a great read from front to back. This movie is very enjoyable, and it was nice to see some differences between the script and screen. I always find that to be a treat, as if you are experiencing a deleted scene from the movie.
