Simply A Masterpiece
Excellent but underrated film
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Will (Glenn Howerton) uses the local coffee shop as his office. There is the ever-watchful manager Sam (Josh Groban). He is often visited by his best friends; the mildly-racist Chad and Gino who uses his police job to scare-hit on girls. Will is taken with regular customer Becca (Adrianne Palicki) but can't actually talk to her. When the owner plans to convert the coffee place, Will has a scheme with his friends.Like the modern-day chain coffee shop, this movie has a soulless feel about it. It's cold and without heart. This could be a fun wacky cast of characters but they end up being a sad collection of misfits. It helps to care about the people in a comedy. None of these guys are worthwhile. It takes too long to get to the mayhem. It's a lazy day spent at a bland coffee shop and not a fun day. A good start is to find a coffee shop with more charisma but that's only the start.
a normal comedy. not sentimental, not aggressive, not special. only a refreshing picture about few peoples, a coffee shop 's small universe and social relations. friendship, love, vulnerabilities, jokes, teenagers in body of men, all seems be known and only the science to not has the ambition to impress does the difference. a nice film for the inspired manner to say an ordinary story. for the sensibility and grace, for the common pieces from many other lives, for the strange innocence of characters and for the acting. a film who remains after its end a surprise. because after a lot of waves of humor in different proportions and packages, a film about a not significant space and its people could be source of fresh air.
Really enjoyed watching this movie. One of those chill, slapstick comedies you can watch over and over. Glen Howerton is exceptional and fun just as in Sunny. Supporting cast fit there characters profile. Pace of the story kept move, didn't really ever seem to get slow or dull like some other B rated comedies do. Also this is the only movie that I know of that has referenced the 1986 BMX movie "RAD". Totally hit my funny bone and I wanted to pull out the old BMX bike again.Hope they come out with more movies like this one.Thanks for the laughs!
I'm actually not much of a comedy movie fan, why? Because most really aren't worth wasting your time on. I am a fan of undiscovered movie gems though, and this really is one of those. I laughed very loud at so many of the scenes I couldn't count them all. It's very funny, very close to the line at times, and feels fresh all the way through. It has charm in spades. I will be recommending this to those who like a good comedy, though once again, I still hate Adam Sandler (and his cronies) so given that some intelligence probably went into making this little flick, Sandlerites may pass.
