Movie Review

Grade: C+ It's rare to find a Ridley Scott film that I won't be scrambling to theaters to see. Hell, there aren't many Russell Crowe movies that I have no urge to see in theaters, regardless of any phone-throwing incidents. But when previews came out for A Good Year, the movie just looked boring. And you know what? It kind of is.

Cast and release info, by Mimi

February 15, 2006

Aaron Eckhart is not in the film.

Marion Cotillard doesn't plan a California woman, she plays a French woman, Fanny. Abbey Cornish plays the California cousin.

The release date has not been officially announced, though Apr 7 seems very doubtful.
