Synopsis
Wine Country (2019) is Amy Poehler's comedy, available to watch online on iFILM. Poehler directs and stars: a tight circle of longtime friends heads to California's Napa Valley to celebrate one of them turning fifty. The plan is simple, just wine, tastings, and a carefree weekend away.
The plan falls apart, naturally. Between glasses, old grudges, unspoken hurts, and decades-deep anxieties bubble to the surface. The table is stacked with Saturday Night Live veterans, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer, and Paula Pell, and their years of chemistry show in every overlapping jab. Tina Fey drops in as a blunt local dispensing unwanted life advice.
This is Poehler's feature directing debut, drawn from the cast's real-life friendship, and it plays like a hangout among people who actually know each other: light on plot, generous with loose, lived-in banter. It's warmer than it is laugh-out-loud, the kind of movie to put on with a glass in hand for anyone who loves easygoing comedy and good company. Stream Wine Country (2019) online on iFILM.
