the script was half-dead and didn't make Russel & Ridley sparkle as usual but they saved a few moments of the movie that couldn't deliver romance or comedy.... Full review

If you liked "Under the Tuscan Sun" then you should enjoy this movie. It is not Russell Crowe's best work, but it is enjoyable and an excape movie. I only wish they would have spent more time on a mystry wine.... Full review

This was a great date movie and was also just a very good movie on several levels. I have heard many critics say it was just another "formula" romantic comedy. Well then, if funny, good hearted, well acted and beautifully photographed... Full review

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.
