**spoiler alert** This is a decent romantic drama, a little heavy on the cheese, but entertaining enough right up until the end.
Victoria's drunk father sets fire to their vineyard in Napa Valley, essentially destroying their livelihood.
Keanu Reeves runs off to dig up a "good vine" with its root system intact.
So the scene is the audience looking at the whole incinerated vineyard while Keanu is now showing his soon-to-be-father in law this root, which they will be able to use to regrow the vineyard. In maybe a decade or two. And somehow we are supposed to believe it is this emotional moment of happiness. What?
Sorry, the only emotions at this moment I felt were anger and despair. I understand the metaphor, but this ending killed the movie for me.
