Coffee Town

It's a funny film that goes off on a philosophical and audience pranking detour near the end. Good movie, I laughed a lot, and I like some of the ideas brought up in the movie. The characters are comedic; one's a cop, one's a web guy that works out of his coffee shop office, and the other is a douche that works for an office opposite the coffee shop. They're all likeable. The retard stuff and the black stuff is very funny.

To be honest, this movie should have been half an hour longer and had more funny conversations and banter between the main three and the coffee shop rockstar dude. The film is quite good on observational comedy and if it had an extra 30 minutes, I think it could have been even more hilarious and possibly one of the funniest films ever.

Also, they could definitely have got someone hotter than Adrianne Palicki as Becca. It's just not that believeable for a man to lust after someone so much when she's not hot at all. I love the casual nature of the film, and of course the college humour is very good.

B+

I've just watched it again. It's brilliant. It's one of those movies that you can just watch over and over again and always appreciate the humour. Maybe it's on a lot when your mates are around and when you grow up you have a soft spot for it for how it made you laugh so much in your youth. It's that kind of movie, except I'm not in my youth anymore and it is adorable and funny. I will watch it as regularly as I watch Extras, The Office and That Mitchell & Webb Look (which is...a fucking lot). It's that rare US comedy that is very rewatchable. Probably only The Cable Guy, Clear History and a handful of others fall into this group.

A-
