A Good Year is a perfect example of a director taking on a genre that they are ill suited to handle. A romantic comedy that features very little romance and almost no comedy, A Good Year has Russell Crowe playing an unethical day trader who comes into possession of a vineyard in southern France. His immediate desire is to sell the property, but will his trip to France teach him a valuable lesson about not being a douchebag? Listen as we discuss the skillful slapstick comedy of Russell Crowe, the problem with going beyond your capabilities, and the voyeurism of Ridley Scott!
