Review of Café

Café (II) (2011)
1/10
So disappointed...
21 October 2010
I had such high expectations just based on the spectacular cast in this movie. About 40 minutes into the film, I wanted to leave. I've never EVER walked out of a movie (seen hundreds in theaters). I saw this at a film festival and felt obligated to stay until the credits, hoping for it to not tempt me to bolt out of the theater. The cast was great considering the script, which was rather cliché but could be cute at times. The dialogue was bearable for the first few scenes. Unfortunately, the plot went downhill from there. If you are not of the god idolizing type, this is not a film for you. Nothing about this translates to anything beyond a "someone created us and they will manipulate us at will if they chose to, or not" mentality. I do not believe in this and the premise of the film is sadly based SOLELY around this thought. I have seen many faith based films that have been fantastic, owning to the thought that not everyone thinks like the screenwriter. Showing the humanity side of characters instead of the only the "divine interpretation" could have made this film watchable, maybe even good. This hasn't yet been picked up by a distributor. I'm not surprised. I've never been so disappointed in a film...
