After seeing most of Alexander Payne's filmography, Sideways still stands out as my favorite from his. While the movie follows a simple premise of two men-one with an alcohol addiction and one with a sex addiction-as they journey through wine country trying wine, the film works so well because of its heart. This is largely in part due to the performances of Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church. These two share fantastic chemistry on screen and they each do a great job at embodying these characters.  The script is the big highlight of this moving being both hilarious and heartfelt. It lends its self to the actors playing to their strengths. The Jazz score of the film gives it at very one of a kind style that isnt seen in many films. Overall this is an incredibly fun watch and ednlessly rewatchable.
