jamariana Every character was so unbelievably irritating. Only Larry David and George Costanza can do Larry David right - otherwise it's just annoying and bizarre. All the yelling, exaggerated mannerisms, and ridiculous dialogue - no one behaves like that in real life! It was just hard to get through.

Michael Ledo Evan (Steven Weber) is a brain surgeon who runs his practice like a GP. His close cousin Richie (Craig Bierko) reminds us of a bad Brendan Fraser impersonator. Viola Harris plays his stereotypical doting Jewish mother. On a trip to Atlantic City, Evan gives Richie a couple of quarters which turns into a jackpot on the slot machine, which consisted of 3 sets of grapes, hence the wonderfully clever title.Evan thinks he should get half, while Richie does not. This leads to them both breaking with their girlfriends, a feud between them, and sudden financial irresponsibility on the part of Richie...oh what a clever name too!The plot is predictable and the jokes and bits are on the stale side. Well conceived, poorly written and executed. Larry David has done better.PARENTAL GUIDE: F-bomb, sex, no nudity.

marsmitchell79 Poss Spoilers: PROS: 1. Great idea for a movie. 2. Has Twists(goes in directions that you never thought it'd go). 3. Had some funny moments. 4. Makes you have to think sometimes to find out what's going on! 5. The poor people ruining Richie's home might make you cringe!CONS: 1. Has too many twists(poosibly 1 too many); therefore, making the ending sloppy--at best! 2. Characters were just there and not developed(it's like they gave a 6th grader the idea and told the kid to run with it). 3. Evan's character should have been poor; that way, it would have made for an even more thought provoking movie! You would have felt sorry for Evan, if that had been the case. As it was, Richie was a super creep who you(viewer) let off the hook somewhat due to Evan being rich. Sometimes, you(Richie) just should feel obligated to ask do I need to compensate you. 4. The actor named Barry Pepper(of the Friends-like TV show) should have sued or forced Evan to settle out of court--instead of what he actually did as revenge. 5. Richie's plan regarding his mom was sloppy(and narcissistic); in real life, it wasn't practical; see it for yourself! There's no way to ensure that things would likely go the way they did in the movie. There's a comment between the 2 cousins that make reference to poor people as bums and both acknowledging this ignorance!Two cousins are married; Evan and his wife are rich; while, Richie and his wife are middle class or poorer than middle class. Richie's mother, Selma, stays with them(revealed later that the property is--for all intents and purposes--his). The couples, while out on a casino outing one night, are playing at the casino. Richie runs out of quarters for his slot machine, Evan gives the 2 that to him that he is missing, and Richie wins the $436,000+ jackpot with those quarters. You'd think that since it's free money that Richie would offer Evan half! Evan, though rich, wants half! Richie, meanwhile, shows how frugal he is and--in totality--offers Evan checks for $1,000(first) and, then 3%! Selma doesn't help, as she's like Richie's parrot(on his side) and his wife says give him something meaningful--if not a half! It becomes a war! Neither wife can take it and leave; Evan pulls a nasty prank on Richie(and Evan is consumed to the point that he goes from being super doctor to making a CRITICAL ERROR at work); and Richie does something wild and crazy after Evan's prank(Evan's tantrum)! Evan "resends" his prank(but has trouble getting past his error), but Richie cannot resend his wild and crazy action. Richie is forced into being lucky to avoid prosecution, but receives some bad luck at the end that have a reap-what-you-have-sown effect! I tried to leave out what I could to let you watch it for yourself.

Chris If you don't like this movie, there is something seriously wrong with your sense of humor. In other words, you might be better of watching reruns of Friends. (Or Guys & Gals.) Seriously, this movie is everything that makes Larry David great, you can even see him in each character. In the spirit of Seinfeld, Curb & even Arrested Development, this movie is so wrong, it's right. We'd been meaning to watch it after it was referenced on Curb, but never got around to it until now and I'm so mad it took us this long! How Sour Grapes isn't a cult classic like Big Lebowski or Office Space is beyond me but I'll say this - it'll never get dusty on my shelf.
