At a café in London, manager Rachel fires her cheating boyfriend, Charlie, the cook, just before the lunchtime rush. His job falls to a waiter, Tom, with zero grill skills. Meanwhile, the customers deal with broken hearts, bad dates and jealousy -- not to mention the crazed mother of one of the waitresses. Rachel plans to escape the chaos by working at a fancier restaurant, which, unfortunately, has chosen that day to observe her in action.

About as appetizing as a pot of dishwater coffee.

The claustrophobic and poorly executed Caffeine is either a play in search of a movie or a movie in search of a play but, either way, it's searching for the wrong thing.

Emanuel Levy

Variety

A witless examination of relationships and day jobs, Cosgrove's would-be comedy finds little humor in issues of infidelity, heartbreak (and bodily functions), resulting in a film that's hopelessly amateurish and creatively destitute.

Rated: D

Largely unfunny and catastrophically amateurish but still slightly interesting, holding my attention to the end! 7/05/2013

Don't waste your time. Saw this for Katherine Heigl but she's not a major player.
