Movie Reviews of Bottle Shock
Movie Review: Fun story but not history
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie--can't wait for the DVD. Yes- I've preordered.
Just a word of warning--it is very weakly based on a true events that occurred in 1976 (2 California wines from 2 different wineries - the second winery is not part of this story) took first place (different categories) in a wine competition in Paris and caught the world's attention. The movie 'story': love triangle, father-son boxing matches, poor near broke 'former' lawyer etc are all Hollywood inventions. So do not take it as history (read the book Judgment in Paris for that) but enjoy it as a story.
Movie Review: Wine and Cast + Story = Awsomeness
Summary: 5 Stars
I can honestly say as both a wine lover and a filmophile that I enjoy this independent film an absolute ton. Its got an amazing ensemble cast for an independent film including Chris Pine (Star Trek), Alan Rickman (Die Hard), Bill Pullman (Independence Day), Rachael Taylor (Transformers) and Freddy Rodriguez (Planet Terror). It was a fantastic story about the history of California wines coming to par with the french wines of the day. It is witty, fun, dramatic and has amazing cinematography. You have to enjoy this flick, it is a true underdog tale told by an amazing cast and crew.Movie Review: Really good find
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this movie purely as fan of Alan Rickman work. I was pleasantly surprised however with the quality of the film. I knew that I would likely enjoy Rickman's acting (as he is incapable of anything less than a great performance), however solid acting by Bill Pullman and Dennis Farina really made it a better than good film in my opinion. The plot of the film immediately caught and held my attention and toward the end you find yourself really rooting for the underdog Americans. You don't need to be a wine connoisseur to enjoy this movie!!Movie Review: Chris Pine loves Chardonnay
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the movie after catching it on TV. Since I had just become acquainted with Chris Pine on Star Trek, I wanted to see what other movies he might have made. I don't know what happened at the theaters but I loved the movie. It re-awakened my interest in California wines. Alan Rickman and Bill Pullman were both excellent and a fine draw to this "real life" story. I laughed at the long hair on Chris Pine but it takes place in the 70's. It's a nice quiet movie with a good story rather than special effects. A rare find.Movie Review: Bottle Shock

I just saw this movie while crossing the Atlantic Ocean. It is a must see for all wine lovers. Especially the wine-o's whom have heard about the 1976 Paris wine tasting that put Napa valley on the map. It is well produced and the story line is fantastic. I will cretainly purchase the DVD and put it right next to my copy of "Sideways", another exceptional wine-lovers movie.
