Critics consensus

“Charming, thoughtful, and often funny, Sideways is a decidedly mature road trip comedy full of excellent performances.”

This is a film about human beings who can be flawed and prickly but if you go a little deeper, you will see beauty. This is a wonderfully written script, with a great performance by Paul Giamatti.

Payne does know how to capture two kinds of male menopause. But I can't say he ever surprised me.
