Turnover is a fantastic uplifting film that resonates on so many levels. For anyone who has struggled to build a business, or has worked in a struggling office, you will identify with the characters. If you are looking for acceptance and community, this film will reinforce the wonderful possibilities that are out there. If you have experienced health or relationship issues, or have indulged in retirement fantasies, join the Turnover crowd. This is a marvelous modern day story that reminds us that life can be very good at the simplest levels. It is delicious in messaging, visuals and music. Thanks to Linda Palmer, cast and crew for bringing this heartwarming story to the screen!
You immediately settle into this film during the opening sequence, which is beautifully shot and scored. The movie does a good job creating a feel good tone, while also quickly establishing conflict and capturing the strange dynamics of this charming small town. The film features a talented ensemble cast, who all feel real and relatable. I applaud the director's diverse casting choices, and Paul Guilfoyle does a terrific job in his lead role.
Paul Guilfoyle does a beautiful performance taking us on his life-changing journey. The ensemble cast is also so talented and the writing and set up are infectious. These are the kinds of stories we need right now, people coming together to help each other, make each other better.
I also appreciate immensely the representation of multiple disabilities in this film and voices we don't usually see their stories. The Turnover is defiantly worth your time, with so many gifts, performances, and messages.
This was a film that simply made you feel good. Centered around a group brought together to work at a restaurant under crazy circumstances we find true human kindness prevails over all going against them. You will recognize many of the cast, and they do a great job. It is simple story that is simply told. And that is a big compliment. It's just plain nice to watch start to finish. Worth a watch.
Every day the news is off the charts depressing. So a little light and joy is really needed right now. This movie delivers laughs, friendship, joy, love... and just made me incredibly happy! A group of outsiders coming together make this cafe feel a little like the 80's sit-com Cheers to me. A place that makes you feel at home and laugh at the same time. Though Turnover is more family-friendly. But still, that same welcoming vibe. Featuring a great cast and story, this a sweet film, very lovingly made.

- TriviaIn the opening scene you see the chef pitting dark red (black) cherries by hand. But the cherries he uses for his turnovers are tart red cherries, and look like canned.
- GoofsWhile an employer cannot fire someone specifically for race, gender, disability, etc., California and a lot of states are at-will employment states. Therefore, they can fire someone without cause. Peter should've been able to fire the whole crew without cause and started over with a new one.
