A Good Year, 2006, Russell Crowe, Abbie Cornish, Albert Finney
A Good Year is a 2006 romantic comedy film set in Provence, in southeastern France. It is directed by Ridley Scott. It reunites him with star Russell Crowe, whom he directed in Gladiator, and co-stars Albert Finney. Fox 2000 Pictures distributed the film.
The film was badly received by critics and (as of January 2007) has estimated losses of around $20 million, being a commercial failure. But in actuality it grossed $40 million world wide and an additional $15 million from DVD sales, making a total of $55 million. That means it had a profit of $25 million since production cost was $30 million. In the US and UK, critics savaged Crowe's performance as miscast and in France it was attacked as cliché-ridden. However, some reviewers found it romantic and beautiful.
