Baked in Brooklyn

I don't often write reviews but I stumbled across this film and loved it. Funny, touching and grounded especially for this type of movie. Contemporary romantic comedy (dramady?). The movie takes you a great little journey with characters that actually come across as real and grounded. I highly recommend this great little date movie.

I don't write reviews for movies very often and I am very critical about what I spend my time watching. With so many options available, if a movie doesn't pull me in within the first 5 to 10 minutes then I'm looking for something else. The first 60 seconds of this movie was questionable for me but I was sold before the 3 minute mark and was fully engaged from that point on (I'm not afraid to stop movies mid-stream if they get stupid).

The story line flowed nicely, the acting talent was grade A, and the chemistry between Brener and Daddario was definitely above average.

I found it thoroughly entertaining and the type of movie that I'd watch again soon with someone on a movie date (a rarity for me).

I really wanted to like this movie. I like the pot culture. I enjoy self medicating. Big Head from Silicon Valley is an actor I enjoy seeing in TV and movies. The girl is hot.

The movie unfortunately lacks depth. There is nothing compelling about any of the main characters. His relationship with the girl didn't draw me in mostly because the writing is very shallow. He likes her because she is really hot. She likes him because he plays a song she likes. It is difficult to say why she continues to like him. There is nothing funny in the movie. I think I would have liked it if it was at least a little funny.

There is little to like in this movie other than a curious fascination with how he built his weed dealing business on craigslist and some hope that we may see the girls' boobs.

There are plenty of great examples of how to develop characters and relationships in movies. No excuse for bad writing.

Probably one of the dumbest movies I've seen all Summer. The main character was an annoying unfunny dweeb.

Scenario is ok, filming is ok, girlfriend is fantastic but the main character is ... boring. It's not possible to have empathy for him so you're happy that this movie ends (pretty quickly) and it could have been much, much better ...

Anyway, the kind of movie to watch home on a rainy day!
