Re: Movie Incongruities/Lucky Coincidences
There is one huge one for me, and it comes in, of all movies, Sideways. I love the film, should probably write a review of it, etc. but one thing that bugs the hell out of me is when Jack and Miles go into the winery where Stephanie works, Jack just throws out there "Hey do you happen to know Maya, this waitress from the Hitching Post?" Of course, they're good friends, and provide the perfect combo to offset Jack and Miles.
Maybe I'm just unfamiliar w/ the California wine country, and this sort of thing makes sense, but to me, in a movie where every other little detail is so well thought through, so convincing, I just find this a little too far fetched, and gets me every time.
