8 Slices

This is a heart warming film about a really good boss who cares about his employees like his family. It is actually quite touching. I can feel his generosity and his warmth being reciprocated by the lives he helped. It is a meaningful comedy, and it is refreshing.

Written and directed by nick westfall. A fun, wacky group of people who work in a pizza joint. But it's slowly going under. They want to save it, because the owner really cares about them. He even rewards them for reading books on his list, so they all have writers names... john galt, ann rann, albert kamoo, jack berouac. The lead (jesse boyde) goes off on these long, insulting rants to get followers on his social media page. It gets a little annoying. But we can see what's coming. It's a cute indie film. But shouldnt these workers be wearing hairnets or hats while preparing food in a kitchen? Just saying. Its okay. Only 85 votes as of today.

Actually a very good movie. Covers many bases, watch till the very end (after credits) . Quite a social meaning movie for the times. Recommended.

Came across this little gem of a film after doom scrolling through Tubi on a weekend and was left enchanted. It's a film that moves you in a non-pretentious and non-preachy way. The pizza joint is a metaphor for life itself, with all its failings and futility, but hey, at end you do make it through. Life is a mix of unpleasant emotions and sadness, but they each serve their own purpose just as condiments on the pizza. It's rare to come across a film that celebrates its lack of answers and still manages to come full circle. Booklovers like myself would love its literary references and maybe others would pick up their first book after watching the film. Also, don't miss the part about the ills of over the top social media. It's as relevant as ever.

Overall, a film you should definitely watch and savor with your minds open!

PS. You gotta watch the film to figure out the title of this review.
