Wine Country

Wine Country is a new comedy (movie) on Netflix.  It features some of the greatest SNL female cast members to ever perform: Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, just to name a few.  In attempt to not just watch another movie we had seen a thousand times, we decided to give it a try.

The plot of the film is a group of women who have been friends since high school, reuniting for a friend's 50th birthday.  They embark on a journey to wine country, celebrating old times, as well as hashing out some old issues.  Wine Country does a good job of highlighting the comedic moments, and not overplaying some of the more dramatic.

Annie and I loved it, and found ourselves crying laughing at times.  It is like Bridesmaids meets Grown Ups if you need a reference.  Maybe a little long for a comedy, but we were able to get through it.  Not sure I would watch it again, but it was a great Sunday movie to unwind to.  If you enjoy SNL, this is a nice way to reconnect.
