Bottle Shock (2008)
3/10
If you like wine, grab a couple bottles
11 July 2016
It's the only way to get through the whole movie. I don't understand how it gets so many good reviews. Were people drunk or just crazy? First I'll address the terrible wig. Wearing a wig instead of getting the needed hair-do is understandable if it's for a couple of minutes, but this guy used it throughout the whole movie and it was worse than Barbie's hair! A Razzy to the stylist of this movie was rooted for.

Then we have the drama with the unnecessary father-son fights, the hottie having a disguised wet-tshirt standalone to allure those Hollywood producer pervs, and the intense Mexican who sadly, but not surprisingly, does not get the girl in the end. They sent the wiggy to represent them all and, predictably enough, as soon as his wine wins all is over. "Let's not tell them what red wine won" thought the writer, "we have Kirk, that's enough".

I didn't know much about how California wine became important, and this movie changed nothing. I enjoyed more the Wikipedia article on this than that long, unbearable movie. Bad directing, terrible script, the make-up and styling seems to have been done by a square- minded stereotypical-based team and, worst of all, they prolonged the drama just to create a suspense that did not make up for the 110+ minutes it lasts.
