This is one of those films that grabbed me right off the bat with it's true-to-life dialogue and immensely fun detailing of the small but hilarious things we all experience in daily life but have never taken the time to put into words. It's the movie version of GOOD stand-up comedy, and while I'm not much of a reviewer, I wasn't ten minutes into this before I felt an insatiable obligation to share the pleasure with someone. Which seems like a natural sentiment considering how much charm this movie derives from its relatability.
The plot is simple enough and seems sufficiently outlined in IMDb's summary, so I won't repeat it here. Note: For fans of, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", Glenn Howerton brilliantly deadpans the same type of semi-sociopath we've grown to...love to laugh and shake our heads at. He makes this film a treat.
But what makes this movie truly engaging is its ability to produce a seemingly nonstop stream of jokes so personally relevant to the viewer and our daily lives, as to make one feel as if they're just as much of an insider to the humor as they are a witness. The dialogue's pace is its other strong suit. An off-hand remark may be overlooked by the characters as their attention is diverted elsewhere (along with the viewers') and and may have you intermittently wishing for a pause button in order to better relish just how funny these gems are. But by maintaining its momentum, the movie is allowing the viewer to catch some of these fastballs themselves, which of course, makes them that much more enjoyable.
I'd compare its pacing with that of NBC's 30 Rock, but by replacing Rock's off-brand style of quirky jokes with the off-beat dialogue of a quirky character? The increase in humor just explodes exponentially. Really, this movie is THAT funny. If you're anything like me and not generally a laugh out loud type of person when it comes to cinema, I'll bet you'll find yourself coming out of this feeling like I did...that you really didn't have much of a choice in the matter!
Many Kudos to CollegeHumor for that rare comedy that you'll probably want to watch again immediately after your first viewing so as to be better prepared for the onslaught of funny.

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.

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 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.
Those who hate politically incorrect jokes may not enjoy the film as much as I did, but if you just enjoy a joke for the sake of a joke then this film is one to see.

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.
