I see where the critics are coming from with Bottle Shock. The plot is disjointed. And there is little resolution to various stories they're trying to tell. Still, I love the movie and though it connected with a certain passion about wine in Napa. (Again, I agree the film has flaws.) That said (and not really intending to rehash ground already well-trod), it is absolutely unacceptable that they allowed some PR flaks to spam blogs with comments. (As a PR pro I'm embarrassed by it. If I hadn't seen the movie already I would avoid doing so for that very reason.) Ok. I see where the critics are coming from with Bottle Shock. The plot is disjointed.
