Entre Vinho e Vinagre

Listen. I'm sat here looking at the opening credits wondering why I'm watching this film for the third time in three years... I cannot believe it was released in 2019, I watched it twice in that year and now in 2021... the last film I watched more than once is The Imitation Game, so this must be good right. Having recently watched Parks and Rec, as well as every Amy Phoeler thing I can find, I wanted to watch this film again with her other work in mind.

Anyway, you don't need anymore of my life story- I think this is a funny film made by good, creative people.

I mean it's not the greatest film of all time but it's really not that bad. It doesn't deserve the hate it's getting on here. The cast is very strong. The jokes are decent, albeit a tad bit predictable. It's worth the time to watch it.

This film tells the story of six friends who go to Napa Valley for a holiday.

The scenery and the house are both beautiful. However, that's pretty much the end of the good points. The pace is very slow, and the jokes are not funny. The art show scene falls completely flat and is completely lost on me. The characters aren't having fun, and the viewers aren't either.

I can't believe this is getting such bad reviews. the SNL women are pure gold and I loved how there was a little bit of drama between the friends but that they didn't overdo it. It's raunchy, but not gross. The characters were relatable and flawed. Overall I thought it was just a nice feel-good movie.

It's fun but it took at least twenty minutes before I could really think 'ok this is a fun movie that I want to continue watching'. There's enough humor and the storyline is brought in a way that is entertaining enough to keep my attention. The directing was good and the acting was convincing. In the end this movie is about friendship and learning to trust others and be honest. And for what it's worth: I'm in my mid thirties and this movie is easy to understand for everyone older than 25.
