Sideways The Experience

See it if Act II has more drama to keep you awake (pouring wine all over yourself, gunshots when hunting, relationship drama & screaming).

Don't see it if But Act I is a huge bore & way too long. A comedy should be directed to have laughs, which aren't present. 2 hrs 35 minutes - needs big cuts

See it if you like plays based on a movie. The 2 1/2 hour play goes along nicely with good acting and an engaging story.

Don't see it if you don't like comedy/dramas about interpersonal relationships.

See it if You like the movie and root for the underdog, who admittedly was somewhat obnoxious. Go see this show, you will nto regrete it.

Don't see it if If you can't get past a shlumpy guy winning the girl in the end.

Also This was a gem. I had seen the movie many years ago. I thought both of the male leads were perfect. I could feel for Miles. I am glad that they did not try to find an Asian woman to replace Sandra Oh. she can't be replaced.... Read more Read less

See it if you want an evening of fun entertainment. Brian Ray Norris acts really well as Miles and the other actors are convincing, too.

Don't see it if you don't approve of the concept of bachelors trips before one's marriage or you only want "serious" entertainment and no silly/funny shows.

See it if Fun show. Second act was much better as the pace picked up.

Don't see it if You don't like listening to the F word A LOT!

See it if You would enjoy a live action interpretation of the movie “Sideways”.

Don't see it if You prefer shorter performances as this is 2 1/2 hours, or if you wouldn’t appreciate a live version of the “Sideways”.

Also The acting was good and staging was quite clever in this production. It has the potential to draw crowds to an even bigger stage with a bit of polishing. The play was quirky and entertaining similar to how I felt after watching the delightful movie version.... Read more Read less

See it if Fun show with great performers. Saw the movie way back and thought this was a terrific interpretation. We needed wine at the finish.

Don't see it if More a macho male story. Drepressed writer and buddy needing to taste their sorrow away.

See it if You want a light comedy faithful to the movie, even in casting. Buy a glass of wine at beginning: refills free during show!

Don't see it if You have impatience for a 2 hour plus play: definitely needs trimming.

See it if Liked the film and something familiar but entertaining

Don't see it if If you want something original or thought provoking.

See it if You want a Unique evening! VIP option wine pairing before the show complements the story! Fabulous production values! Fun performers.

Don't see it if You hated the film.

See it if you enjoy plays that go deep, that are equally funny and emotional, you like wine, you like the movie,

Don't see it if you expect it to be exactly like the movie, you don't like thought-provoking theater

Also Apparently, I learned that the show has begun gelling now and after a rocky first week, so do give it a try. I thought all of the actors, especially the Miles, and the direction were superb. Though it runs 2 and half hours, I was never bored. I found the writing and the show as a whole riveting and emotional. I was in tears in several places. Loved it!... Read more Read less

See it if You love red wine and plan on drinking a tiny overpriced amount during the show. You loved the movie!

Don't see it if You’re looking for a solid comedy where you root for the characters. You Sony’s love wine.

See it if I liked it, but I also liked the movie. The play was too long-needs better editing.

Don't see it if You don’t like shows that are too long.

See it if Good acting, lots of talk about wine, and some whining from man-boys

Don't see it if you don't like wine or whining

See it if Divorcee and wingman unwind with women in wine-soaked Napa weekend. "This pinot is pornographically good/You have no taste, just appetite."

Don't see it if Mix of both esoteric and crude. Sad, smug, seething lead treats everyone badly.Four hrs w/ pairing experience(3 pricepoints based on intake)

Also "Get thee to a winery/I'm going to have sex with that chick, I'm not going to disappoint her/I love oak, especially new oak/Your mom drinks like Elaine Stritch" Giveaway souvenir "glasses."... Read more Read less

See it if You know and like the movie and/or the novel it’s based on. See it if you are straight and looking for a good date night experience.

Don't see it if You are looking for something deep or dramatic. This is fluff but good fluff.

Also A good production, well acted BUT the male lead is miscast and that is a big problem.... Read more Read less
