Family-owned winery struggles for survival.
I think this might be a comedy
Found this movie on a midday slot midweek when I was home from work sick. This movie is bad. Every performance is awful, every character is awful, even the cinematography is bad. The grandparents accents change every line and there's zero chemistry between any of the actors, there's even a sweet scene staring out into the vineyard at night where you can almost see the sticky tape holding the picture of the moon in the sky with obviously fake plants in the foreground.
All of that being said, its also hilarious, just unfortunately in a laughing at rather than with kind of way. I'm from a wine background and even half an hour talking to the people that own the vineyard where its shot would have saved most of the embarrassment. Stomping table grapes (not wine grapes) is probably why their business is doing so badly, plus testing for "oak sensitivity" which is categorically not a thing, but that's the minor stuff. There's just endless out of place jargon in every scene that makes your brain bend. In the end (spoiler alert) the business is saved, mostly through wearing chinos and blue sweaters with your leg up on something while staring into the distance.
On a side note: The weird use of jargon, reused stereotypes and storylines and plastic dialogue makes me think that this was actually written by ChatGPT. There's no way a human wrote something this bad.
