Yes, the movie did remind me that I do not want to be a workaholic. I want to enjoy all that's beautiful in this life. The movie's tagline: "Everything matures...eventually." How true.Read the book. It is supposed to be even much better than the movie 
hahaha! yeah... no, to workaholicism (if that's a word). the non-fiction peter mayle stuff is better, i think. like a year in provence and french lessons. he writes about his life experience, being an englishman who relocated to provence. very witty, entertaining, and gustatorily stimulating!
