Wine Country (2019)

I guess I'm still waiting for the preeminent Gen X middle age reckoning movie. I thought this talented group of funny people would be able to deliver but Wine Country is certainly not it.

Instead Wine Country is just a series of cliches punctuated with not very funny jokes. We've got some of the funniest actors/comedy writers around behind this thing so occasionally they hit and make us giggle a bit. But mostly you spend the 100ish minutes of Wine Country wondering what the help happened?

There isn't an original idea anywhere to be seen. Wine Country is a collection of exactly what anyone would expect about a group of women turning 50.

Perhaps it would be better if I drank at least a bottle of wine before watching it.
