DVD Reviews of A Good Year (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite movies with beautiful scenery and story line. the price was very reasonable and it shiped very fast. I recommend this!DVD Review: A Good Year
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is really underated. It's light and romantic and colorful. The flash backs work well in this movie to set the background of a young boy and his uncle. Russel Crowe is endearing as Max, as a young boy, then a greedy and selfish man who becomes so smitten by a beautiful and independent French woman against the picturesque backdrop of his uncle's Provence winery. It is truly beautiful and immensely enjoyable...
The scenery and actors are delightful...
Buy it, watch it again and again...enjoy!

Summary: 5 Stars
Russell Crowe is great at light comedy! Critics apparently didn't care for this movie but I thought it refreshing. I watch this again and again as it is a staple in the Romantic Comedy Library.DVD Review: GREAT MOVIE !!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Just a real nice movie about life & love and getting caught up in
the rat race, in an "all about Me" World.
No Bells & Whistles, Just a good, believable story.
Great Casting. The acting is good, With just the right amount of humor.
People may rate it as a chick flick.
Probably because there's no killing or Macho Crap going on.
I don't call it a chick flick at all.
It will leave you thinking about what's important in life.
Check it out!
Description of A Good Year (Widescreen Edition)
Max Skinner (Russell Crowe) is a highly successful investment expert with no time for life outside work. When his estranged uncle dies, Max inherits the vineyard in France where he grew up as a child, and his first intention is to sell the vineyard as quiA feel-good movie that highlights the beauty of France as much as it does its stars, A Good Year provides a languid, gorgeous viewing experience. Director Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe--who first worked together on the Academy Award-winning Gladiator--are reunited in this romantic film, which is based on Peter Mayle's book A Year in Provence. Crowe plays Max, a workaholic London bonds trader who doesn't know the meaning of vacation. When his uncle dies, leaving him a picturesque estate in the south of France, Max views it as an opportunity to cash in the vinery and pocket the profits. The film is reminiscent of Diane Lane's Under the Tuscan Sun in the way the scenery plays as much of a role in the film as its characters. The lush village and streaming sunlight portray Provence as an idyllic, magical place. Even Max falls under its spell. While not a particularly likeable character, especially in the early part of the film, Max also isn't a bad guy. When he gets the chance to live life at a less manic pace than which he is used to, he finds that a good year isn't dependant on a financial windfall. Though Scott tries to drum up some suspense in the film (Is the beautiful visitor really Max's illegitimate cousin? Will Max fall in love with the feisty local woman he trades quips with?) nothing that happens comes as much of a surprise. Still, while the film doesn't fully utilize Crowe's range of skills, the actor is charming in his role and A Good Year provides a fine time in the cinemas. --Jae-Ha Kim
