Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 14 Aug 2008

If Bottle Shock were a wine, someone would probably call it amusing with a hint of apricot. I'd just call it a heck of a lot of fun…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Duane Dudek (861) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 14 Aug 2008

Like a wine with a hint of bacon laced with melon, its contrasting elements coalesce to make Bottle Shock a palatable, if not thoroughly nuanced,…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Rick Warner (2) for Denver Rocky Mountain News (608) on 14 Aug 2008

Unfortunately, Miller can't decide whether he's doing a relationship movie or one about the intrigue of world-class winemaking…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Cathy Frisinger (1) for Denver Post (1,096) on 14 Aug 2008

Comedy and drama are nicely balanced in this mostly true tale…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Michael Sragow (1,413) for Baltimore Sun (1,823) on 14 Aug 2008

Bottle Shock wastes that intriguing bit of history and some seductive Napa Valley settings on a bland script that's part period piece, part…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Beth Accomando (509) for KPBS.org (509) on 14 Aug 2008

I would pay to see this film again if only for Rickman... Rickman's performance, like so much of his work, is sheer perfection and a delight to watch…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Annb. (8) on 14 Aug 2008

I was looking forward to this movie because of the story line....Loved the shots of Napa and Paris…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Bill Ward (1) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 13 Aug 2008

Its heart is so in the right place and its tableau so appealing that it's easy to come away from this sweet, scrappy film with a nice little buzz…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 13 Aug 2008

The movie provides Pullman with a lead role, which is something you can raise a glass to. But as for the rest of it…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 12 Aug 2008

To lay it out in terms that both an oenophile and a cineast would understand, if Sideways is the cinematic equivalent of an unopened bottle…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Christian Toto (897) for Washington Times (392) on 12 Aug 2008

Bottle Shock is like a discount bottle of wine you'll savor despite its apparent flaws…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 12 Aug 2008

This is a charming triumph-of-the-underdog flick, and mostly for one reason: Alan Rickman…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Jules Brenner (885) for Cinema Signals (847) on 10 Aug 2008

Pour me a glass of Chateau Montelena and I'll drink to even an awkward film's telling of its story, and to the real Jim Barrett's standards…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Tim Cogshell (223) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 10 Aug 2008

Bottle Shock isn' bad in any particular way; the acting is fine, the scenery is lovely...But who cares, right -- right…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 10 Aug 2008

The politics of making wine is a great subject for a movie, but this clunker doesn't do it justice; Bottle Shock is broad and coy where it…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Katm. (5) on 10 Aug 2008

Disappointing. Boring. Lots of faux platitudes to wine (it is sunlight!). I looked at my watch constantly…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Elizabeth Weitzman (1,905) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 07 Aug 2008

Unfortunately, Miller never finds the right balance, so while there are some sweet notes, the pileup of clichés ultimately leaves a slightly…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Richardw. (31) on 07 Aug 2008

A delightful small movie -- what film that incorporates Paris, the Napa Valley and wine could be anything but a delight…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 07 Aug 2008

It is not in the remotest sense a challenging or extraordinary film...cannot reasonably be described as anything other than adequate…

Review of Bottle Shock (2008)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 07 Aug 2008

The film follows the Rocky/Hoosiers template to the letter, not a single thing here either a surprise or shock…
