Movie Haiku:Two losers hit the road in this testosterone-fuelled buddy movie set in California wine country. While certainly enjoyable (with finely crafted individual scenes & a perfect part for lead Giamatti), there is nothing new here. We both saw the end coming a mile away, so that really ruined Jan's mood...
