      Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed it because it had an originality and was not as predictable as most films however the story was a little too fairytaled Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie explains how we are all interconnected. Like Gandhi said, one person can make a difference and 3 can change the world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member watch it you will enjoy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review dave j Monday, April 7, 2014 (2010) Café DRAMA/ SCIENCE-FICTION At the start of the movie, gunshots are being heard from an independent Café shop, and then the real story switches back starting one week earlier, starting from a Sunday. It revolves around a café joint and the people that go to it. It consists a bunch of nobody's because much of the characters doesn't seem to have anything to do with the gunshots that occurred at the beginning. Some of the characters include a person writing a book, two people meeting from a theatre, except the man already has a ring on his finger, a drug addict as well as the drug seller(Jamie Kennedy). And the most bizarre one of all, something that was already been done already called "The Matrix", in which a young 10 or 12 year old girl is seen talking like an adult, telling an overweight man on a lap top that he's a made up person called an 'Avatar'. She tries to instruct him to do something, and he doesn't listen. Both Claire (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Todd (Daniel Eric Gold) are the only people who work at the Café shop, with the peculiar thing that they don't know what their boss look like. I mean, it's like how do they even get paid if they don't know what their boss even look like. Anyways, the film was written and directed by Marc Erlbaum, who may have came up the idea by watching "The Matrix" from his laptop, while drinking coffee at Starbucks. 1 star out of 4 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 19, 2011 Full Review Brent Simon Shockya.com 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.
