The movie seems to follow the classic underdog story, where the protagonist faces obstacles and challenges to prove herself and succeed in a competitive environment. The fact that Jo's coffee shop is vegan adds an interesting layer to the story, as it highlights the current trend of plant-based diets and the challenges that people face when trying to introduce this lifestyle to others.
The theme of perseverance and determination is also prevalent in the movie, as Jo and her team of misfits refuse to give up despite the odds stacked against them. This is a message that can resonate with audiences and inspire them to pursue their goals.
The rivalry between Jo and Rudy adds another dimension to the story, and it will be interesting to see how their personalities clash and how they push each other to their limits.
Overall, the movie presents a compelling and engaging story that can capture the audience's attention and leave them rooting for Jo and her team. The themes of perseverance and acceptance of diversity are important messages that can inspire and motivate viewers.

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.
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.
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 was an enjoyable watch. The theme centres around Jo who Is a strong advocate of Oat Milk.
For the first ten or fifteen minutes I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the film as the colour palette , voice over, general cinematography and set design took a bit of getting used but as the film went on it was clear to see that the style really did suit the story being told.
Jo moved out of her parents place, who own a successfully diary producing farm in their own right, to open an independent vegan coffee shop. As she and her shop begin to struggle financially, Jo has to decide whether to enter the World Barista Championships that she's previously had issues with, not least because Oat Milk is banned in many aspects of the competition.
The film tests Jo's beliefs and principles as well as those of her friends and employed whilst also taking a look at some of the faults of high street chains and it did it all in the setting of a quirky independent coffee shop.
The support characters do a good job of bringing enough laughs and charm to the film although they can be over the top in certain places.
The visuals during the coffee making scenes are great. I especially enjoyed the underground coffee battle scene, my favourite scene of the movie.
Whilst it took a bit of getting used to, Coffee Wars won me over as an enjoyable comedy with a decent message. I hear all that all profits will be donated to charity, good on the team for that one.
