Sideways follows
Miles (
Paul Giamatti), who is distressed about his lack of success as a novelist, and
Jack (
Thomas Haden Church), an equally unsuccessful actor with a rapidly approaching wedding. In a last-ditch effort to sow their wild oats,
Jack and
Miles take off on a final road trip to California's wine country the week prior to
Jack's wedding. Both men have goals for the vacation --
Miles wants to turn
Jack on to the art of wine tasting, while
Jack is concerned with exploiting his last days as a bachelor -- but when the two men come across two fascinating women (
Virginia Madsen and
Sandra Oh), the duo is forced to examine their morality, and if maturity isn't such a depressing prospect -- at least, for one of them.
