'Sideways' director dumps a mess of problems on George Clooneynew
Alexander Payne has this thing for mid-life crises. Whether pitting an exasperated high-school teacher against a scheming overachiever in his 1999 breakthrough Election, or dropping Jack Nicholson and a naked Kathy Bates in a hot tub for About Schmidt, or setting a pair of wine snobs loose in his last movie, 2004's Sideways, the writer-director doesn't see people in their 40s as well-adjusted men and women contributing to society.
