IslandGuru Who payed the critics

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Tal Boldo A remarkable film, rich with wisdom, humor and a benevolent outlook on life. It has been my favorite movie for years, I've watched it countless times, I've never outgrown it, and I never cease to find new beauty in it.THE THEME: What role does philosophy play in the life of man? THE PLOT-THEME: "Can a man sitting on a pillar be relevant to the world in which he lives?" THE PLOT (without spoilers): A young man struggles to figure out what he wants to do with his life. Everything he attempts ends in failure. When he decides to sell the most valuable asset he owns and invest the proceeds in his craziest idea yet, a quirky (deceptively illogical) chain of events is initiated by his uncle, to help his nephew find the road to happiness.Edmond Rostand wrote "Cyrano de Bergerac" in his early thirties; Huddles wrote and brought to life "Uncorked." (Or "Higher Love" as it was called in Europe; or "At Satchem Farm" as he originally titled it.) The only sadness I feel when I watch this movie comes from realizing that we live in a culture that didn't award an Oscar (several of them) to this achievement. I hope Mr Huddles stumbles on this review. I wanted to say, "Thank you for seeing me through moments of doubt and sadness over many years."

fierypoeticgirl I think it's strange when they give a movie two completely different titles. Rufus Sewell and Minnnie Driver star in a movie called "Uncorked," but on Sewell's filmology it is called, "At Sachem Farm." This is the second time a movie made by Sewell has been called by another title. This will mess people's minds up! Anyway, "Uncorked" is delightfully fun and well worth the watch. It teaches a valuable lesson in that "game" called life. Everyone gives an incredible performance. The main lesson is that it's so easy to lose your perspective on your life, but sometimes a person needs to swallow his/her pride and trust in family to help himself/herself out. Like Barbara once sang, "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world!! I know, it's corny, but true.

clgraham82 I just rented this movie - and let me tell you it was amazing! Originally I got it because it had Minnie Driver ... but in the end I loved it for all of the 'odd' characters. The movie isn't anything fabulous. It isn't spectacular. It's down to earth and homey. I honestly don't know how better to explain it. It's one of those movies that warms your heart (some would call it a 'chick flick') and seems to give a purpose to the ending plight known as life. But it doesn't give direct answers ... but merely makes you take a second look at everything around you and give you something to think on. The most memorable line of the film to me is "It's just a place to sit..." because things in life are only as big and grand as we make them out to be. The movie won't win any Oscars .... but it wins my vote for People's Choice.

arxantes I just finished watching this film on tv and I want to share my feelings with you.I really enjoyed watching this film, such an excellent romantic comedy. it is the kind of film that transmits you an optimism and a view of life's philosophy that is hard to forget. The character of uncle Cullen (played by an astonishing Nigel Howthorn) is the basis of this film but not the protagonist whom he played the talented Rufus Sewell. I really don't want to say pointless things about the movie but I have to tell you that it was a major surprise for me because I watched it by lack because I had nothing to do at that time. In a few words, very good script, clear and smooth performances and GREAT GREAT music (especially the guitar sequence)
