2.5/5
The problem is that, although the staff's and customers' concerns may be of relative import to their characters, their issues largely come off as either mundane or clichd - or both. Go to Full Review

Written by someone who one has to assume is a recent film school graduate who wrote plenty of tortured poetry in high school, this Cafe should have its beverage license revoked, no matter the lack of alcohol. Go to Full Review

William A @WmDeadliftAllen Dec 4 I wish I had written this movie. That is how much I liked it. See more Timothy K May 18 I've always been a fan of JL Hewitt, and I live outside West Philadelphia, so this was a movie I hunted down and went in totally blind; the metaphysical and spiritual aspects of the film are fairly deep without being up its own ass, the ending is concise and sensible, and each character represents a clear and decisive archetype in the story. See more 06/18/2022 Despite dodgy reviews, I loved this. Definitely a sense of weirdness throughout but the characters are appropriately endearing or loathsome and the fact that the film is shot almost entirely in the cafe never results in it being boring. See more 02/13/2017 In this movie I give it only 2 1/2 stars because it's based in a cafe with people solutions. I just wished that the movie was filmed like everywhere just not the cafe I mean yes it has Jennifer love Hewitt in it but it was too boring for me. See more 10/15/2015 I enjoyed it because it had an originality and was not as predictable as most films however the story was a little too fairytaled See more 03/02/2015 This movie explains how we are all interconnected. Like Gandhi said, one person can make a difference and 3 can change the world. See more Read all reviews
