A Good Year

Light and airy comedy/drama filmed in a lovely location in Southern France. The plot is simple - workaholic British stock trader is forced to reconnect with his childhood home when his uncle dies and leaves him vineyards and a lovely chatel. Add some local French peasants, a pretty childhood girlfriend, and you have the makings of a light-hearted rom/com. Russell Crowe is a fine actor, and/but some might argue this is not his best venue. Still, enjoyable film, but predictable.
