Script
The story of the movie is very interesting. You have these two men going on a week long journey though wine country in California. They face women and temptation and give in to both. They are amusing to watch however because they are so honest. You can actually imagine two men doing this and the story carrying out in the same manner. They are dedicated to their friendship more than anything, which is one of the beautiful aspects of the film. The film is a little dry in parts however and may get boring to some.
