Good concept, poorly executed.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I enjoyed both movies and I truly hope more will be made. For some reason I like those two actors together.

This movie is a totally unnecessary sequel. It's completely boring to anyone who isn't running a winery. Their business and financial problems are so mundane. Not much romance drama or anything else.The scenery doesn't even look like Napa.Don't bother.

I think the biggest problem with this sequel is that it tried to do too much, but maybe the acting and direction weighed it down as well.If I heard one more "The wine isn't ready yet" after Frankie tasted it, I was going to scream.This sequel adds a romance between Nate's brother, Marco, and Frankie's cousin, Lexy. It's a nice enough side story with some good chemistry. This might have been the best part of the movie, or at least the easiest for the viewer to identify with.For most of the movie, Frankie and Nate just weren't clicking. Even when they did click, it seemed strained when they definitely should have been nothing but happy.The fate of Sorrento Vineyard seemed to rock back and forth as more issues were added to the mix that affected their financial future. I think it was too much for the movie to handle. They seemed to bounce from one issue to another without really giving the viewer time to absorb any of them.As much as I liked Frankie and Nate in the first movie, I just couldn't get invested in their relationship in the sequel.

Wow! I loved Autumn in the Vineyard. I haven't even finished this, but I plan to. I just wanted to offer my opinion from what I've seen so far. The dialogue was so hard to follow and the storyline as well. The director assumed you knew the past story. The characters were talking so quickly that I could barely understand what they were saying. Maybe it will get better as I watch the movie but such a disappointment from the first one.
