Laura Colella, Aaron Jungels, David A. Parker, Jonah Parker, Adele Parker, Yvonne Parker, Theo Green, Virginia Laffey, and Gideon Parker in Breakfast with Curtis (2012)
Syd, an eccentric bookseller with delusions of grandeur fueled by red wine, caused a rift five years ago between the freewheeling bohemian residents of his house and the family next door. Now over the course of a balmy summer, he tries to draft the boy next door to make videos for his online book business. Introverted young Curtis is reluctant at first, but soon gets drawn in by Syd's creative fervor. Their unlikely bond dissolves bad blood between their households, replacing old grudges and repressed secrets with new camaraderie and fresh possibility. The transformative power of forgiveness, ping pong and afternoon cocktails sparks CurtisÂ’s first seminal summer and a season of change for all.

    Give this one a chance...I loved it!
    When I decided to watch this on Netflix, I wasn't expecting much. I even thought I'd likely not watch all of it. This is often the case when I've never heard of a film or of any of the actors.

    Well, I was very pleasantly surprised at how interesting every character was and how skillfully each actor portrayed his or her character.

    Congratulations to the writer/director Laura Colella for creating such great characters and for her very fine direction. Everything was clear, understandable and completely believable. The casting was pretty much perfect, too - right down to the "look" of each actor.

    Again, all the actors really did a stellar job, but I must give special mention to young Jonah Parker who gave a beautifully nuanced performance. I wish there was more info on him in his profile here, because he has now piqued my interest. If you're reading this, Jonah, I strongly encourage you to stick with acting! I will very much look forward to seeing you again and again in a variety of roles. I will remember your name and be watching for you!

    I was surprised to see this currently only has a 6.7 rating. I gave it 8 out of 10 and am thinking, as I write this, it may really deserve a 9, for all the reasons mentioned above.

    If you don't require special effects, sex, or violence in movies to enjoy them, I strongly encourage you to see this one.
