Max Skinner (Russell Crowe) is a highly successful investment expert with no time for life outside work. When his estranged uncle dies, Max inherits the vineyard in France where he grew up as a child, and his first intention is to sell the vineyard as quickly as possible. But after spending unexpected time at the Vineyard in France, he discovers a part of himself that he had lost and experiences romance and a blossoming new love affair with a beautiful French woman that changes his life forever. A Good Year is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Peter Mayle."
Failed London banker Max Skinner inherits his uncle's vineyard in Provence, where he spent many childhood holidays. Upon his arrival, he meets a woman from California who tells Max she is his long-lost cousin and that the property is hers.

A guilty pleasureI love romantic comedies, knowing full well when I watch them that I have seen this story many many times before, with only the venue, names, and details changing. Like a child begging its parents to read the same bedtime story over and over, I watch A Good Year with much the same childlike passion for the predictable. Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, there is a threat of some sort, at the last moment boy wins girl back, there is a kiss, and in this 21st century scenario, an implied marriage (or at least extended cohabitation). There is usually some subplot concerning a struggle for power, money, or property, or, perhaps, for one's own soul. There is deception as well. And finally, this film is like a green play; in the Shakespearean sense, where we have an opposition between the big bad city (London) and the honest rustic countryside (Provence, France). A Good Year has all of this and more. The girl, in this case, Fanny Channel (Marion Cotillard) is the means by which Maximillian (Russell Crowe) rediscovers his childhood memories and his quite apt "intoxication" for his uncle's vineyard. The rest is done by the magic of the place (shot in golden dappled light, in warm, earthy colors) while London is all dark blues & blacks with overcast skies. There is so much more. As art, this film is exquisite. The cinematography, the writing, the acting, the vision, all weave a lovely, well crafted work. The topic may not be serious, but the film making is and it's fun fun fun..Score: 5/5

A brilliant movie.I love this movie. I"ve watched it at least 4 times in the past 3 years. Russel Crowe only chooses movies that are worthwhile. The transformation of such a brilliant character as Crowe's is lovely to watch. It feels as though one is allowed a look at the most intimate moments of the character's life..Score: 5/5
Love it!I often ignore the reviews from rotten tomatoes because sometimes it's hard to agree with them when how a person sees a movie is very subjective. I love this movie and Russell Crowe. He doesn't have many light comedy films and this one is really great. It shows a different Russell Crowe to the audience. This film is really sweet and fun. Russell Crowe is truly talented:).Score: 5/5

A Good YearI've read all of Peter Mayle's books which implant travel-to-France seeds in your soul. Was delighted with this movie on the big screen. I had it on an earlier version of my iPhone and it disappeared upon upgrading today, so I'm downloading it again. Our trip to Provence last October started growing in my mind after having read Peter Mayle's great adventures there. We stayed in Aix en Provence and traveled all over the southern end of France, then on the TGV to Paris for my birthday. It was the trip of a lifetime. So, I'll be watching A Good Year and enjoying all of the wonderful actors for a long time and warmly remembering Provence...:).Score: 5/5

A Good Year, a great movie.What a fabulous little work of art, sumptuous scenes of Provence, (you will fall in love with the chateau), an inspired soundtrack, top notch acting, Crowe's excellence is more than matched by the perfectly chosen supporting cast. Clever, funny script, thouroughly enjoyable! The critics didn't like it, they may feel that the movie does not suit their lives but they are wrong, it is their lives that do not suit this movie..Score: 5/5
