(1 - 22) of 22 OFCS Rating: 36% Rotten Page   1   D "As much respect I have for Crowe as a dramatic actor, the painful truth is, comedy just isn't his forte."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 2.5/4 "...it's hard not to feel a twinge of disappointment as the film quickly reveals itself to be an innocuous and ultimately forgettable piece of work."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C "Does not translate into a good film."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 1.5/4 "A Good Year is a bad movie."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C- "Like spending two hours with someone who is tiresome but who thinks you should find him exceedingly charming."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "Any vacation which could dry out Russell Crowe's intensity is probably a good thing. Just not as a lark by his Gladiator director doing Benny Hill jokes while he discovers the joys of life."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C- "A guy version of a chick flick, and like regular chick flicks, it's pretty sappy stuff, though with the lovely locations and sumptuous cinematography, it's very pretty."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "Magically transports us to the sensuous setting of southern France where memory, love, and a grand fondness for place conspire to alter the life of a selfish London trader"   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "For those who don't mind pictures that fall into predictable rhythms, A Good Year represents a pleasant diversion."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "To quote a classic cinematic oenophile -- quaffable but far from transcendent."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 5/10 "One could do worse than to please one's eyes with the pictures here, but that may be as far as any stimulation goes."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen "A Good Year is, structurally, nothing more than a rickety assembly of the creakiest cinematic clichés."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox 2.5/5 "Under the Tuscan Sun for men"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 2.5/4 "The course A Good Year takes feels like it's on rails: there's only one possible destination and only one way to get there."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- " Plonk is a Britishism for cheap, low-quality wine -- not undrinkable, by any means, just nothing special. As much could be said for this film, lightly based on the helium-weight plonk of a best-seller by Peter Mayle."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "Scott is clearly aiming for cute and wacky while hedging his bets with sticky nostalgia."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C- "They [director Ridley Scott and star Russell Crowe] may have had a good time making the film, but I can't say I did while watching it."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 1.5/5 "the scenery's about the only thing worth appreciating in this mediocre Year."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell "A Good Year is the kind of polished Hollywood product that intelligent, informed, hip consumers of contemporary culture are supposed to sneer at. It's also shamelessly entertaining, and having been shot in the south of France, fabulous to look at."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek "In A Good Year, Crowe gets to make jokes and wisecracks that show off his boyishly mischievous comic timing."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 6/10 "Slick and sweet but superficial and only occasionally intoxicating."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 22) of 22 OFCS Rating: 36% Rotten Page   1
