Sideways (Japanese: サイドウェイズ, Hepburn: Saidoweizu) is a 2009 comedy-drama film directed by Cellin Gluck that is a remake of the 2004 Academy Award–nominated film Sideways . Unlike its predecessor that was set in the Santa Barbara wine country, it is primarily set in the Napa Valley wine region.[1]

Plot

[edit ]

Michio Saito is a middle-aged Japanese screenwriter with little success. He is a former foreign student who returns to California to attend the wedding of his best friend, Daisuke Uehara, to an Alli, an American. Uehara is a former actor who has lived in California since college and is now a restaurant manager.[3] [4] Before the wedding, the two men take one last bachelor trip to the Napa Valley wine country,[1] [4] where they meet a woman that Saito once tutored and admired, Mayuko Tanaka, and her barista friend, Mina Parker. Tanaka and Saito rekindle their acquaintance, and Parker and Uehara become romantically entangled.[3]
