This film is truly my favorite. When I feel lost or disconnected with my aspirational self, this film is the one I turn to. It's filled with many European qualities - qualities of thoughtfulness, empathy and complex simplicity as well as the aesthetic architecture. I highly recommend this for the light-hearted, happy-mongering individual.

Don't believe all the good reviews here. This movie is very badly directed. There's no humour , little romance, little chemistry among the characters and the story is very lame. The only thing nice about this movie is the château. That's why i am giving it 2 points.2/10

A successful stockbroker inherits a vineyard and finds there's more to life than money. I ignored this film for ten years as I thought it sounded pretty dull. I was wrong. There is plenty here to keep you entertained. Although it's by no means a riotous comedy there were plenty of times that I laughed throughout the film. Add in the French countryside, a sharp script, a charismatic Russell Crowe and the unbelievably beautiful Marion Cotillard and there's not much to dislike. This is one of those films you can just put on and enjoy without having to think too hard. It doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. It's all fairly predictable but the cast is so good that it really doesn't matter all that much. There should be more films like this. Just put in on and enjoy the following two hours.

Romance, Drama, English Man, French Woman, From London to French Provence, Between Banks and vineyard a total paradox! The movie is about dreams and memories from childhood that can turn out into unexpected way... But they stay the things that really matters and for which a person may really fight for! The cast is fantastic, Russell Crowe & Marion Cotillard are making a cute romance besides of other great stars and withing a sweet light comedy. I just Love this Movie !and I watched it several times, for me its inspiring, making me believe that every one can change his life and follow his dreams when it comes to find true love and the real meaning of life and happiness.
