SIDEWAYS on DVD
by Andre Soares
Sideways, the acclaimed road movie about two irritating losers who bicker, get drunk, and hook up with a couple of Californian gals, will come out on DVD in April.
The film received countless critics’ awards, and was nominated for five Academy Awards, winning one for best adapted screenplay.
Based on a novel by Rex Pickett, Sideways was directed by Alexander Payne, and was adapted to the screen by Payne and Jim Taylor. It stars Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church as two prototypes of male obnoxiousness, Sandra Oh as the streetwise but (unconvincingly) gullible Central California sexpot, and Virginia Madsen — the film’s saving grace — as an intelligent and sensitive waitress — one who certainly deserved much better than what she gets at the film’s conclusion.
