Movie Reviews of Mondovino
Movie Review: Like Watching the Cap Sink.......
Summary: 1 Stars
The true highlight of this film was Parker's dyspeptic, farting bulldog....otherwise, it consists mainly of a lot of folks rambling, ranting and droning on (in subtitles, of course!)about the most arcane, "inside baseball" aspects of wine politics I've ever dozed through.....imagine the most horrifying wine conversation you've ever had at a fancy dinner party or reception (you know the one: where you thought seriously about diving out an open window to the street below) and multiply it by a factor of ten....The film's few charming moments feature the cameraman's apparent infatuation with vineyard canines....Note: watch carefully for the adoreable Pyrenees(sp?) blissfully gnawing on a huge hunk of cheese he's snatched from a table in one of the opening sequences....the film was also effective in illuminating how "James Suckling" is one of the world's top ten aptonymns.....LOMovie Review: mondoFiction
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a Michael Moore type mockumentary. The camera work is shoddy. The storyline is predictable corporate conspiracy stock. Robert Mondovi is taking over the world through wine sales supported by one French wine expert and Robert Parker. They are all in league with those vile conservatives like Bush, Reagan and can you believe it... Adolf Hitler. The poor French wine makers are doomed. One Italian grape grower sold 75% of his vineyard to Mondovi and after watching Mondovi create a cash crop from the old vineyard, laminated his sale and blamed his misfortune on Mondovi. Easily this is one the more propaganda laced films made since Reefer Madness.Movie Review: nauseating...

As much as this is an interesting subject with some historical merit, this is by far the most annoying documentary i have ever seen. the camera work is truly neurotic and extremely distracting. The filmmaker either had too much to drink during the shoot or he was too cheap to hire someone who knew how to handle a camera. Seriously folks, save your money and buy yourself a nice bottle of Bordeaux.Movie Review: wine guy looks at mondovino

Stupid, pointless and useless. Hand held camera about made me seasick. Learned nothing except that Parker had lost a lot of weight, apparently.Movie Review: Frustration
