Sideways
by Rex Pickett


Highlights
Synopsis
A wine-tasting road trip to salute the final days of bachelorhood careens woefully sideways as two friends hit the gas en route to mid-life crises.
The comically mismatched pair, who share little more than their history and a heady blend of failed potential and fading youth, soon find themselves drowning in wine and women.
Emerging from a haze of Pinot Noir, wistful yearnings, and trepidation about the future, the two inevitably collide with reality.
Press Reviews
"Every word is pure prose poetry... should be high on your list of plays to see."
— Santa Monica Mirror
"A sublime variation on the buddy road movie, infusing the midlife crises of the two main protagonists with hope and poetry."
— New York Post
"More involvingly intimate than the movie."
— LA Weekly
