Groom sows wild oats before Bride Wines in my favorite movie scene!
#1 movie scene in the series of Movie Classics
For someone who doesn’t even know what Wine goes with ‘Fish Sticks’, I loved this 2004 Movie. How else am I going to get a guided tour through Napa Valley in Northern California & admire the fine art of Grape Squeezing?
You mean they don’t squeeze Grapes like Lemons? What do I know – I get all my education from reruns of “I Love Lucy”!
This movie was serious when it wanted to be serious & funny most of the time!
I take that back, it was never serious. It glided effortlessly like the bouquet of Pinot Noir tickling your throat. All I know is – I was never Bordeaux!
I’m sorry! haha
Getting married in a week, Jack (Thomas Haden Church) convinces his Best Man, Miles (Paul Giamatti) to join him in getting laid & insists that is exactly what he needs to get out of his depressing funk.
Reluctantly, because his funk is so funked up, Miles squirms till he has no other choice.
So they take off on a road trip for a week of Golf, the Wineries & anything with 2 Breasts in the front!
Yes, Jack – a TV Soap actor, a bit shallow in an innocent-goofy way, wants one last sexual fling, but has more than one – but who’s counting?
Miles is a struggling Novelist, an English Teacher & an ‘Everyman’ Wine Connoisseur which is getting him nowhere until he finds his match in Santa Barbara County in the well-corked body of Maya (Virginia Madsen)
Oh! And, this movie is complete with Sandra Oh playing her pivotal part with gusto!
My favorite scene in this movie is akin to getting your tongue caught in a Deli Slicer – that’s right. You’d rather have it done to someone else & you just hear about it!
Jack & Miles are sitting in a Restaurant booth: Jack with a bandaged broken nose (from a previous tryst this week) is now flirting with his zaftig blonde Waitress who seems to remember him from a TV Soap, which massages his ego & naughty bits!
Leaving Miles alone at the Motel, Jack takes her home but doesn’t find out she’s married until her night-shift husband walks in on them in bed.
After Jack runs naked back to his buddy, Miles – miles away, he pleads for him to get his wallet in his pants he left behind with his irreplaceable inscribed Wedding Rings in it.
He also pleads for his ‘Vicodin’ for his nose & is one big joy of hopelessness for us to laugh out loud about.
They drive over together, but Miles sneaks into the house. The Waitress & husband are having wild roaring animal sex in the bedroom while Miles is crawling towards the Dresser. The husband hears him milling about & all hell breaks loose!
When Miles & Jack escape the raging naked husband, they have a moment to reflect.
MILES
So how was she? Compared to Stephanie, say. (his bride to be)
JACK
Horny as sh– flopping around like a landed Trout!
As Miles & Jack went thru the Wine List from A to Zinfandel – I too, got an education…and found out I have a nose for Manischevitz, the Sommelier doesn’t like to be tickled & the Spit Bowl is not a Tipping Jar!
Now, if I could only figure out where to put my Drip Dickey!
