I wouldn't say this is a great film. It is a bit flat, predictable, and quirky. But if you're looking for something light to fill a couple of hours this works.

It's a nice fun film and reminded me of where my dad is from. However it's completely unrealistic that so many people in that little remote Italian town understand and speak English. Very unlikely.

I thought this was a sweet movie. You know just because there's little turmoil, no violence or vendetta or indeed any deep message doesn't mean it's lame. On the contrary foe heaven sake lighten up and enjoy the Italian ambience if nothing else!

A US executive (Joe Pantoliano) moves to Italy to reopen his grandfathers vineyard. I liked Russell Crowe's "A Good Year" and thought this would be equally charming and engaging but this is really a poor imitation. Weak plot, poorly executed and not even the beautiful Italian language and landscape can save this one.

This movie was delightful. No it isn't necessarily brilliant film; but what is these days? The story is warm and the acting is convincing. There are some lovely unexpected touches of animation that add humor and fun.

Heartfelt and sometimes funny; "From The Vine" finds Joe Pantoliano in fine form but it's premise leaves you thirsty for more. In this comedy-drama, a man with an ethical crisis travels back to his hometown in rural Italy to revive his grandfather's vineyard. An overall cute family dramedy, but "From The Vine" doesn't always hit the mark you'd expect. Although Pantoliano really shines in this role, he is seemingly loveable and always manages to put a smile on your face. Beautiful landscapes and what seems to be savoury wine, this film will make you thirsty but will leave you wanting more out of the characters and storyline. Follow @snobmedia for all reviews!

Looked like a good option but absolutely disappointing! Flat storyline and lack of any research when they presented a Catholic priest in Holy Mass. Absolutely sacrilegious treatment of the Holy Eucharist. Showing a man receiving communion before going to the Sacrament of reconciliation is completely false information, this is a grave sin and a sacrilege! Stopped watching the awful production! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 I don't understand how it received any awards at all. I was misled by the laurels.

It is hard to understand where those few very negative reviews came from. This is a nice, if unspectacular, movie about a 60-something man, very successful, who decides to jump out of the corporate rat race and reconnect with his roots in Italy. Joe Pantoliano, who was so good as the villain in 'The Matrix', is Marco Gentile (pronounced genn-TEE-lay). One day he just quits work and buys two tickets to Italy. His wife is totally blindsided and stays home but Marco looks up his deceased grandfather's estate. The vineyards are mostly neglected and one winemaker produces a small amount each year. This movie is about Marco rejuvenating his life and in the process his family relationships too. This is not a deep movie, the rigors of getting workers, tending to a vineyard and making excellent wine are treated superficially. However it is a nice, heartwarming, entertaining story. I found it streaming on Amazon Prime.

The 3 minute trailer portrayed a movie about a corporate lawyer who swaps the cut throat board room for the vineyards of Italy. The trailer was perhaps the cut of the movie that should be been put forward as a short. Movies such as The Hundred Foot Journey (with Helen Mirren) or A Good Year (with Russell Crowe) are not everyone's cup of tea and it felt From the Vine was aiming for these but got lost in the script, more lost during the filming and that there wasn't enough to piece together a movie that worked. After the first 10mins the movie gets lost and it then becomes a mashup of scenes that don't feel connected to any story. Maybe the lead (Marco) was having a breakdown the viewers are not privy too and the Alley McBeal daydreaming scenes were his making sense of what happened during the opening scenes were he fluffs a presentation that we later get shown? Who knows but the daydreaming was 1990's childlike in its execution and after 25mins I couldn't watch anymore.
