*Sideways (R)
Director Alexander Payne (Rushmore) delivers an impeccably filmed and acted adult comedy starring Paul Giamatti as a divorced/depressed writer on a road trip with his soon-to-be married best friend, played by Thomas Haden Church. The two travel to California's wine country and a series of sexual misadventures erupt with two local women, wonderfully played by Sandra Oh and Virginia Madsen. If not for the director's inherent cynicism that occasionally intrudes on the storytelling, this might be a perfect film. -- Kathryn Eastburn
