Russell Crowe is british businessman Max, who inherits a vineyard from Uncle Henry en france. He must go back to check it out. As we can see, he has been living the fast, action packed life as a stock trader. When he arrives, he doesn't make any friends. And.. the gentleman running the vineyard is SO disappointed that Max wants to sell the place. And one more complication... a girl claiming to be another heir turns up at the last minute. Some funny lines in here, mostly insults uttered quietly behind someone else's back. The story marches on, and Max meets an old flame. And starts to like the place. As these movies go. No big surprises, but it's a sweet story. Directed by Ridley Scott. Nominated for four oscars (but not for this film). He and Crowe have worked together on numerous (very successful) films. This is certainly a slower pace film than Gladiator.
