Sign up for a tour of the Californian wineries and discover for yourself writer-director Alexander Payne's hilarious and touching film Sideways, released to buy and rent on DVD and video on 2nd May 2005 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Nominated for five Academy Awards , and winner of the BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay as well as two Golden Globes, this wry, offbeat comedy takes a sideways look at life, love, friendship and wine! Based on Rex Pickett's novel of the same name, Sideways follows the road trip taken by two old friends; Miles (Paul Giamatti; American Splendor, Paycheck), a depressed would-be writer with a passion for wine-tasting, and Jack, (Thomas Haden Church; Spanglish), a happy-go-lucky, womanising, one-time TV star. It is the week before Jack's wedding, and the two are out to celebrate his last week of freedom. Miles selects a trip to the vineyards of the Santa Ynez Valley, which for him means re-visiting some old haunts and familiar faces
