A Good Year ** 1/2
(First Viewing)

A British investment broker inherits his uncle's chateau and vineyard in Provence, where he spent much of his childhood. He discovers a new laid-back lifestyle as he tries to renovate the estate to be sold.

Russell Crowe does a good job at being a pr*ck in this movie, and Ridley Scott even delves into his brother Tony Scott's bag of tricks in one shot. When Russell Crowe is walking around his chateau, taking pictures, Ridley's shot's reminded me of the "MTV video music" shot style that annoyed so many others here on this board during Man on Fire. An enjoyable movie but I'm not one for romantic comedies, but I had to see this since it was Crowe and Scott reteaming again.
