2025 * Not Rated * 1h 39m Sidney Price (Minka Kelly) works in acquisitions at a wine and spirits conglomerate. She’s one of those all work and no play types. Before she travels to Paris to try and buy a prestigious champagne vineyard, her sister advises her to have a day to herself and just enjoy the experience. So, soon after she lands, she goes out exploring the city and along the way, bumps into a handsome Frenchman Henri Cassell (Tom Wozniczka), at a bookstore. Of course, the two immediately fall for each other. And guess what? His father just happens to own the vineyard she’s on a quest to purchase!
After making her pitch to Chateau Cassell’s owner Hugo (Thibault de Montalembert), she and the other three reps vying to buy the winery are invited to the Chateau for the weekend. Her fellow reps are a bunch of lively characters. There’s Roberto (Sean Amsing), a flamboyant millionaire who loves to have a good time and always serves the vineyards’s champagne at his parties. The German Otto (Flula Borg), is a very serious, philosophic type who constantly makes dark comments. And there’s Brigitte (Astrid Whettnall), who seems to have the inside track since she’s French. Let the battle begin!
The movie is well written and well acted and is just full of surprises. The interaction between the guests was hilarious, and there was a definite spark between the two leads. If you’re in the mood for a delightful romantic comedy, set in Paris and the beautiful French countryside, you should enjoy this movie.
