Mark your calendars! On May 10th, grab your pals and get ready for a wine-fueled trip to Netflix with Amy Poehler and her talented crew in the new movie “Wine Country.” Picture a blend of “Bridesmaids” and “Sideways”—it’s an invitation to laughter and good times.
With an ensemble featuring the likes of Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, Rachel Dratch, Emily Spivey, Paula Pell, and Tina Fey, this film practically sells itself. Just take a look at the trailer and prepare for some serious chuckles.
The Storyline
The storyline revolves around the theme of female friendships, wine, and endless hilarity. The plot follows Rebecca (played by Dratch), who’s celebrating her 50th birthday with a getaway to Napa Valley. Rudolph’s character, Naomi, is the quintessential “weary mom,” and the trailer opens with a riotous moment involving a piano, a tipsy Naomi, and karaoke gone wrong. Sounds familiar, right?
Honestly, that scene hits too close to home, bringing back memories of my own escapades with friends after a few glasses of wine. From the trailer, we see that Poehler’s character, Abby, is the meticulous planner of the trip, while Fey’s character wisely states, “Just remember, guys: Whatever gets said, it’s probably what the person has always felt, and the alcohol just let it out.” Oh, how true!
As the wine flows freely, Abby’s carefully crafted itinerary is tossed aside, allowing the group of long-time friends to address their personal issues and each other’s quirks. If you’ve ever spent a weekend with your closest friends and a lot of drinks, you can probably guess the kinds of revelations that unfold.
Abby sums it up perfectly: “These women I’ve known for 20 plus years and yeah sometimes I wanna tell this one to fuck off. That’s what intimacy looks like.”
Don’t Miss Out!
May 10th is the date to remember—be there, possibly with a drink in hand.
