With Finney in fine form, and Highmore most appealing, these early scenes (and the subsequent flashbacks) are among the film's most enjoyable.
It doesn't matter that the storyline of Ridley Scott's A Good Year is different from that of its inspiration - Peter Mayle's book, A Year in Provence.

Visually, A Good Year is deliciously vivid.
The supportive cast guides A Good Year along its clever tracks with gradual grace.
A Good Year is a valiant, witty attempt to deviate from such a formula.
