Coffee Wars

Coffee Wars is slightly reminiscent of The Bear, but set in a militantly vegan coffee shop instead of a restaurant. (Don't you dare ask for a latte with milk!) The winsomely coffee-obsessed misfits take their espresso shot to the World's Best Barista competition (is there really such a thing? I hope so). I thought this one-shot movie was funny and full of heart, and almost hope they'll base a series on it with the same setting, rivalries and cast members. You'll never see your faceless anonymous coffee shop workers the same again. Tip them accordingly. And don't you dare ask for milk from a cow!

Kudos to all narrative filmmakers who use their tools to make a movie that tries to do good in the world. May there be more folks in Hollywood who follow this lead. Coffee Wars will make you laugh and make you think. With any luck, it might even encourage you to try to save this planet one cup of coffee at a time. I hope so. All the revenue made from this film will be given to environmental charities, animal charities, and organizations dedicated to the betterment of this world and those of us who want to keep living off of it for generations to come. It is incumbent upon all of us to try to make this world a better place. Watch the film. It might teach you a thing or two, and if not, you might just have a few hearty laughs.

Okay, I'm not the kind of person who writes revenues, so bare with me I'm 86. I have to say that I have never seen a film like this-- funny, colorful and 100% about an issue! The closest thing I can compare it too is Dr Strangelove, though nothing like it. This is very well acted and so inventive. It shot of reminded me of Everything Everywhere All At Once... The dialogue is fast and British, so I put on the Closed Captions to keep up, That was well worth it. It was funny and shocking at times, and seemed geared for a younger crowd than me, but I adored it. Please please watch this one! I am so happy I did.

When the underground latte competition in the movie came on I was in heaven! It was The Fight Club of Latte Art! This film was so inventive and special. It combines a social message with balls to the wall comedy! I have never seen anything like it. It's on the one hand Pitch Perfect or Dodgeball but on the other it is as wonderfully absurd as Everything Everywhere All At Once... without the buttplugs! Although there is a scene where a guy eats coffee beans, poops them out and roasts them... "A tangy yet savory flavor!" The cast is great too, reminds me of The Full Monty or Fisherman's Friend with a wonderful ensemble of Brit actors, mostly. One thing I do really appreciate is the PWD actor who plays the main barista judge, I applaud the filmmakers for casting an actual PWD for that role. A role that doesn't even call for it. Truly, a great ride, boatload of laughs, a few important messages laced in and a great way to spend the evening.

Coffee Wars is an incredibly funny and entertaining film, and has been making me laugh out loud ever since I watched it. This movie follows the story of three coffee shop owners vying to control the coffee industry in their small town. It features a great cast of characters, including an outrageous barista and an old-fashioned cafe manager. The humor of the movie is spot-on, incorporating both sight gags and clever dialogue. There's never a dull moment in this movie, and every scene is full of unexpected laughs.

The cinematography and direction of the film are surprisingly good, as the movie is largely set in the coffee shops and their surrounding areas. The filming does a great job of capturing the characters' personalities, as well as the amazing coffee drinks they serve. There is an impressive amount of detail put into each scene, and the use of camera angles and lighting help to portray the atmosphere and mood of each setting.

Coffee Wars is incredibly well-written, with a great blend of comedy and drama. The movie provides an interesting look into the coffee business, and the different coffee shop owners' strategies for success. Watching the characters going head-to-head as they try to become the coffee shop king makes for an exciting and amusing story.

Overall, Coffee Wars is an amazing watch. It is a funny and interesting movie that captures the spirit of coffee shops and the competition that they face. The characters are lovable and the jokes are hilarious. If you're looking for a unique, comedic watch, this movie is highly recommended.

If you like Notting Hill or Four Weddings etc then this film is for you...goofily funny and just a good time was had all round.

Great cast, good script,well shot and just quirkily funny and I'm still smiling about it now several weeks after I first saw it.
