See more Nathan J. @TribianiRamoray Oct 30 Rating: 6.5/10 Bottle Shock is a charming, sunny underdog story with a fantastic cast and a wonderful true story. The film is a light, enjoyable dramedy with a great classic rock soundtrack. Highlights - Compelling True Story: The "Judgment of Paris" story is a perfect setup for a crowd-pleasing underdog movie. - Fantastic Cast: Alan Rickman, Bill Pullman, and Chris Pine deliver standout performances. - Beautiful Cinematography: The film captures the sun-drenched beauty of Napa Valley. Criticisms - Formulaic Screenplay: The plot is predictable and relies on tired clichés. - Underdeveloped Characters: Supporting characters feel generic and underdeveloped. Verdict Bottle Shock is a charming, enjoyable piece of feel-good entertainment. It's a perfect, light, and sunny film to watch with a good glass of wine. See more Melissa R. @kickpigeon Jul 4 Entertaining story and pretty scenery with a couple of great actors. A few really dumb scenes drag it down, but far from sinking the ship. See more Michal M Jul 3 This is one of my absolute favorite films. I can’t comprehend how it is scored at 48%. Alan Rickman is brilliant and the story is phenomenal. Denis Farina is a treasure. I highly recommend having a bottle chilled before you start watching it. Pair it with A Good Year if you need a double feature. It is 10/10 for me. See more Kevin P May 19 A warm, cozy, cute slice of life film about California wine making and its first step into international notoriety with the 1976 French Blind Taste Test. The plot and characters are thin and a bit cliche. But there's enough charm with all the pretty scenery of California’s sunny wine orchards scored to catchy 70s music. Alan Rickman is fun to watch, but I wish he was in it more. He's the main drawing on all the posters, but he feels more like a side character. Chris Pine is decent, but his fake long hair is distracting. Bill Pullman is solid, but a bit whiny. California cosplaying as Texans was a bit hokey. There's also a lame scene where Chris line's character is offended that the intern girl slept with the other guy instead of him even though they barely even flirted. But luckily all of those gripes are pretty mild and don't dampen the film too much. I just wish the film had a meatier script and Chris Pine had a better wig, cause the film nails the cozy California Vineyard vibe and still put me in a good mood despite its missed potential. See more Atilla @Treviewd1nce May 10 I'm shocked by these reviews and shocked that this is one of my favorite movies of all time. I must be dilerious or love wine too much. So we have the French to blame for charging us for wine tastings? Loved the line "Woodstock was 7 years ago" time to grow up. Never spoken about the difficulties parents faced in the 60s. If the TWA scene was real, emotional moment. Also, did not know Chardonnay put Napa on the wine map. See more Read all reviews
