Russell Crowe and Albert Finney star in this Ridley Scott film. Extras include behind-the-scenes featurette, Crowe music videos, and more. Ridley Scott (BLADE RUNNER, GLADIATOR) directs this romantic comedy based on the book of the same name by Peter Mayle. London banker Max Skinner (Russell Crowe) is a cutthroat workaholic who cares only about winning and making money. During his rise to the top, Max has forgotten the important life lessons that his favorite uncle, Henry (Albert Finney), taught him during summers at his vineyard in Provence. Estranged from Henry for years, Max is surprised to learn that his uncle has passed away and as his closest living relative, he is set to inherit the estate, La Siroque. True to form, Max tools down to Provence for a quick visit in order to assess the value of the property with dollar signs in his eyes.
Once immersed in Henry's world and the charm of La Siroque, Max begins to remember his visits and how much Henry and those summers meant to him. Other surprises--including a budding romance with fetching local café owner Fanny Chenal (Marion Cotillard) and a visit from a young American claiming to be Henry's illegitimate daughter (Abbie Cornish)--prolong Max's visit, making Provence more and more difficult to resist. Can Max be content leaving his fast-paced life in London for lazy days in a French vineyard? Or will he sell his estate to the highest bidder, memories and all, and return to his hectic lifestyle? Crowe shows his softer-side--and even throws in some physical comedy--as a man revisiting his past and considering his future. Finney is a charmer as Henry in flashback scenes (where Freddie Highmore plays a young Max) that establish his character's joie de vivre and the tender relationship shared between uncle and nephew. Didier Bourdon is Francis Duflot, the tender of the vineyard, and Tom Hollander plays Charlie, Max's best friend. Theatrical Release: November 10, 2006

Good Year Movie Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   A great movie if you are into Provence
I love Provence, and this movie brings me back there. It is a cute story with great scenery of the country side.

 Delightful!
It won't take long for you to spot the Peter Mayle-inspired characters and bits, including a good dose of slapstick. But Ridley Scott takes a good story and crafts it into an even better movie. Russel Crowe reveals his amazing range here, giving us a romantic, comedic, and even vulnerable main character. And the Provence scenery will simply take your breath away. Supported by a superbly-drawn cast, this is a must-see movie. And don't miss the music videos in the "extras" portion of the DVD. You'll never guess who can sing, too! Highly recommended!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  I wanted to like this film more & poor DVD package
As a fan of Russell?s for many years I was looking forward to this film.
I was unable to see it in theaters.
Having just watched it my head is still spinning.
The film went in all sorts of directions. Why did Ridley have to put funny camera tricks, cheap bargain basement scenes that were supposed to be funny & belonged in lesser comedy films?
The music did nothing for me.
1 unnecessary nude scene. A glimpse, not needed. And, where did this scene come from? I must have missed something?
I was disappointed in the film. With Russell & Ridley working together again IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER.
And of course, something I hate. NO CHAPTER LIST INSTEAD THE DVD CASE OR A LIST ON THE CASE ITSELF.
I hope Russell & Ridley?s next film American Gangster is better than this film.

The Force is with us in EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH, the final chapter of the six-part STAR WARS series, which began a long time ago (1977) in a galaxy far, far away... and is now complete in its cyclical perfection.
