Coffee Town

Why isn't this movie available??? This movie is 10 years old and I watched on Showtime six years ago. With all of the streaming apps and devices, this movie along with hendreds of others are unavailble to the public. Makes no sense when there are 100,000's of crap movies one several stremers at once...SMH!

I found this film by accident and am glad I did. What a great film, great comic timing, a great storyline and a great cast. Yes I thought the film was great.

The film harks back to the films Kevin Smith made in the beginning of his career and I wish he had continued.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film from its brilliant and creative opening credits to its little jokes in the end credits. There were actual laugh out loud moments and I really think that Josh Groban stole the show.

The cast worked well together and they all seemed to enjoy the film. The extras, down to Phil's happy birthday opera being dismissed was really funny.

I like most of what college humor does but this one isn't it.

this feels like a sketch or a 30 minute sitcom episode stretched to a movie. the character development is close to nothing. the only character who gets any depth is the lead but hes just not that interesting to begin with. all the other character are static background that barely have anything to do with the movie and its story. your not sure how these guys meet and why they're even friends.

acting is OK and Ben schwartch is the best of them unfortunately he has a simple role to play that gets repetitive fast.

the story is very simple making you wounder why are you watching this and why so much effort was put into something so meaningless. the story tries to deliver some thought on life, karma and good and bad but barely scratches the surface.

if your bored and like simple comedy this ones fine but just about any other movie to TV show will better fill your time.

I was extremely excited when I first saw the trailer for Coffee Town. As a huge fan of It's Always Sunny and Eastbound & Down, I couldn't wait to see Glenn Howerton and Steve Little in a movie together. They both put in hilarious performances but I'm not sure it made for a great movie.

Coffee Town felt more like an extended sketch show than a movie. Yes, there was an overarching plot, planning to rob the Coffee Town to keep it from being converted to a bistro, but the movie shined in the conversations between the actors. It seemed like each time we saw them sitting in the Coffee Town was a small sketch. Don't get me wrong, these scenes were extremely funny but it lacked a cohesion found in most movies. It may be that the majority of the movie was set at the same spot inside the Coffee Shop as that lead to it just feeling like little clips.

I did love the banter between all three of the lead characters. They genuinely felt like old friends and the dialog felt real. I can picture my friends and I having similar conversations. I also enjoyed the small parts from Adrianne Palicki and Josh Groban.

If your looking for a good comedy thats very quotable and re watchable, I believe this is it. If you like your comedies to rely on story for their jokes than this may fall flat. Any fans of Howerton or Little you MUST watch.

A comedy that takes humorous approach to the daily grind of life. Directed by Brad Copeland, the film revolves around a group of friends who spend their days working remotely from a local coffee shop, turning it into their makeshift office space. This unique premise sets the stage for a series of hilarious and relatable situations.

The film's strength lies in its clever and witty script. The dialogue is sharp humor that navigates between sarcasm and genuine warmth. The banter among the main characters feels authentic, making it easy for the audience to connect with their camaraderie. The comedic timing is spot-on, with each punchline delivered with precision.

The cast delivers performances that contribute to the film's charm. Josh Groban, as the coffee shop's barista, adds a quirky and memorable element to the ensemble.

The characters find themselves facing unexpected challenges, adding depth to the storyline. Amid the laughs, the film manages to touch on the relatable aspects of life, making it more than just a comedy but a reflection on the human experience.

Whether you're a coffee enthusiast or simply in need of a good laugh, this film is a perfect blend of humor and heart.

Not enough comedies like Coffee Town are made today. The comedies in theaters fall into one of three categories: the sequel that shouldn't have been, the raunchy film with heart (one I never get tired of seeing), or the pointless star vehicle. Brad Copeland's Coffee Town is a simple, satisfying picture, not intent on being offensive or taxing, but more fixated on being a fun ninety minutes one can enjoy without the burden of being too explicit, too sentimental, and too self-satisfying. It's also nice to see that despite lacking these three things, it doesn't hesitate to welcome in some middle- class commentary that may definitely hold some truth in modern society.

Will (Glenn Howerton) is a website manager in his early thirties, who uses the local coffee shop, Coffee Town, as his office. It has everything he needs from a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, roomy workspace, and free Wi-Fi. It is everything he could ever want in a workplace at least until him and his two pals - the lackadaisical cop Gino (Ben Schwartz) and rolly-polly Chad (Steve Little) - discover that the owner of Coffee Town plans to turn the shop into a hip, modern bar and eliminate the comfort and marginal quietness that the joint has adapted over the years.

The three decide to stage a robbery to give the illusion that the neighborhood in which the new bar will soon be erected is unsafe and unreliable, thus leaving their own coffee shop intact. In the meantime, Will is trying to find a way to grab the attention of Becca (Adrianne Palicki), a frequent customer to the shop and a local jogger, who is in the process of being smitten by Sam (singer Josh Groban), a cocky, condescending employee at the joint who is currently in a second-rate band.

This is standard-fare, with a familiar plot and setups that don't seem too distant from being foreseeable. However, the film has a great niceness that prevents it from being too mean-spirited and nihilistic - as some comedies have gone on to be recently - and, finally, it doesn't feel like a competition to be too offensive and gut-turning with its humor. The language is present, but manageable and rather light, the raunchiness is almost nonexistent, which is a refreshing change of pace, and, for once in a long time, the tired male conversations of guiltless, free- spirited sex is kept to a minimum. However, I could see writer/director Brad Copeland being successful at incorporating raunchier, more sex-driven elements into a comedy.

But incorporating such elements into Coffee Town would be out of place and thoughtless. This isn't a story that needs to be told through the lens of adolescent maturity. It doesn't need constant penis jokes, cruder sex references, and the use of several four letter words and one particular twelve letter word. It gets by almost solely on the quirks and the likability of the characters.

For example, for the first thirty minutes, Copeland fixates the picture not on bizarre strands of events that show the characters' stupidity and denseness, but rather on the commonalities of them that I can see many audience members seeing themselves in. After those thirty minutes pass, these characters begin to feel like real life friends of ours, and if they don't, we can at least match a face of a person we know to their specific character.

This is the debut film from the guys over at CollegeHumor, the website known for pumping out hilarious webshows and internet videos on demand. Judging from the content of their shorts, this could've easily been an extremely vulgar and graphic picture. It's nice to see the men behind the film took a more careful, conservative approach to the story. Again, they show that not every comedy needs to include obscene, shocking amounts of coarse language to be funny and memorable.

Going back to the idea that Coffee Town offers some considerable truth about modern middle class America is the way it comments on the increasing need for acceptance. Will goes to the coffee shop daily not because he has a desire to freeload off of its Wi-Fi and casual resources, but because he could stay in his apartment, alone, growing older by the minute, wasting away on his laptop. At least when he grows older and wastes away on his laptop at Coffee Town he is in the presence of others and out in the open. This way he can see life pass him by right before his eyes; he won't need to turn on the TV or the evening news to realize it. Just by welcoming in this concept and idea, Coffee Town offers more to think about than several other comedies released this year.

Starring: Glenn Howerton, Ben Schwartz, Steve Little, Josh Groban, Adrianne Palicki, and Josh Perry. Directed by: Brad Copeland.
