TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYs0kblXToA
Rented from the library, watched with my S.O.
Verdict: 9 out of 10. Enjoyable film about the turning point in American wine. Cast of characters was very nice, great music of the era. Chris Pine's hair/wig drove me nuts the whole time though. Some of the use of the female character Sam was cliché (guys watching her use a hose and get wet, flashing her boobs to get a ride). The film followed the format we screenwriters are taught about overcoming adversity, rising to the call, sacrificing oneself for the greater good, dark night of the soul, etc. Would love to look more into the original story too to see how true-to-life the film was or how much it played up certain elements.
