Storyline

Will (Glenn Howerton) is a 30-something website manager who uses local café, Coffee Town, as his office. When the owners of the shop discuss plans to convert Coffee Town into a bar, Will enlists the help of his two best friends Chad and Gino (Steve Little and Ben Schwartz) to save his freeloading existence. In order to thwart the plans of Coffee Town's owners, the trio stages a robbery to create the illusion of an unsafe neighborhood not suitable for the proposed venue. Also standing in their way is Sam (Josh Groban), a disgruntled barista with delusions of grandeur-he wants to be a rock star-and Will's heartache over unrequited love for Becca (Adrianne Palicki).

User Reviews

realism

this seems be the source of its success. a film about ordinary , every day small things. nothing new. but presented in the right light. this fact changing everything. because it is one of films who seems be a form of improvisation example. in the most simple manner. young people. a coffee shop. different problems, smart solutions, incidents and weakness in many forms. friendship, fears, love and life lessons. and, more. because the viewer becomes part of cast. so, a cool film !
