Something's Brewing

My wife and I were looking for something to watch after dinner and found this one streaming on Amazon Prime. It is a very simple story involving coffee baristas and mistaken encounters. Not significantly different from dozens of similar movies churned out each season.

The biggest issue both of us had is the actors are NOT very good, they deliver their lines but never seem believable. Kristi Murdock plays Jane and Jason Cook plays David. He has a coffee shop business and she has consulting experience. At first she is going to take the job a competitor offered, until she found out its business tactics were a bit shady.

So it plays out like countless other, similar clean rom-com movies, it just isn't that good. I suppose fans of either or both actors would enjoy it more. On a 1 to 10 rating scale the "middle" rating is 5.5, so this one is more like a 4.

Ok, I was just about to write about this. I thought was just like a permanent like pimple on her chin, but since most saying a bit, makes me want to Google her other movies to see if it's there. I googled, not a zit, thats a bump or sonething on face. Like other actors & actresses, just part of her that she probably has no plans on fixing.

I honestly stumbled on the reviews because when googled wardrobe, someone mentioned shoes. When went to that sorta interview, I did notice the slingback shoes the lady had on and was seeing if could find.

Oh yes, one of the first things I noticed when the movie first started and she was walking to her job and I was looking at the people and what they had on and then she came out the job like, who knows how much later, and the same people were walking by again. Yes, it's just one of those things I do when I'm watching a movie. I'm always looking at stuff where Isn't there somebody that has that job to point out or notice these things?

After reading the info, I anticipated the movie would be better than it was. The acting, editing, wardrobe, scenes, and drama were all over the place. Besides, the unflattering angles, clothing, and expressions, the storyline was awful in general. I think the main problems can be summed up as the movie being low budget.

Why did she follow him without a good reason or show up outside his house? There are a lot of awkward scenes/ assumptions. Also, the normal breakup (in these movies) is poorly written. Then, for them to "make up" only for another over dramatized incident. The resolution comes writhing in the last five minutes. How does that make sense?

The first half of the movie felt super thin in terms of plot. Basically the first 40 minutes (and really most of the film overall) felt like a really long and boring series of first dates between two people.

After the initial plot points of her losing her job and boyfriend...nothing much happened for way too long. We spent way too much time with the leads getting to know one another.

In addition to a thin plot...the film also lacked any real humor and those other X factors which make these movies fun. It was really just boring.

The acting was decent but not great. But really...my biggest criticism is that this film was not entertaining.

There are so many exceptional movies to watch. Same genre, same theme, same outcome, .. but other than two attractive main characters that wasn't the best in acting in my opinion, the plot could've been better written. As soon as one day's life event was over, the rest was predictable. Just when one expects more developing plots, there ain't any but the usual twists. There really wasn't a plot-very flat line! So many exceptional movie out there, move on and don't waste your time. I only watched due to good rating but I disagree with the plain storyline had anything to sell on spending time watching this one.
