Thanks for the memories!

Just what I expected

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This movie has one B grade actress and one C grade actor and a bunch of nobodies... The characters have little story development. There is a lot of repetitiveness and the movie keeps me wishing for the whole miserable thing to end. The story is an incoherent art instalment with a weak plot and ridicules ending. Don't waste your time with this one.

Café (2011) a low-budget Indie flick which takes place in a coffee shop in a small town in South Philadelphia. What gives the film its sweet and realistic mood is the simplicity of the characters and the stories which we watch slowly unfold. The coffee shop serves as a microscopic part of reality, in which the diversity of the characters and their encounters seem to somehow resemble that of the audience. A romantic encounter, a recovered-addict, a shy ambitious geek who is in love with his colleague, and a drug-dealer representing the bad man, portray the bittersweet reality of life that tastes similar to that cup of coffee in the hands of the patrons. In a surrealist and magical fashion, we realize that the film portrays reality as virtual, created and controlled by a little girl. The notion invites us to think of life in a different way, provoking questions about spirituality and morality. In the end, our characters realize that life is a one chance, one opportunity, in which courage at the face of reality and at the face of death is what counts.

Cafe (2011)A simple seeming story with a couple of otherworldly (computer reality) twists that gradually works on your sympathies and wins.Except for a brief exterior giving the sense of place (West Philadelphia) and two or three other very minor exceptions, the entire movie is shot in a coffee shop. A surprisingly large cast of characters take on some significance. And the dreamy idealism of exactly those kinds of independent cafés permeates the movie. The ostensible driving force is the appearance now and then of a nasty guy who deals drugs and the reaction against him by others in the place and the police. But really the movie is more about character, and what makes character, and what makes some people good and whether that kind of goodness is real.After awhile you also realize that one weird subplot--the appearance of a girl on a computer scree--is maybe the most important aspect of all. Because she helps redefine what reality is--not just the so-called reality of people's lives, but reality reality, ontologically. It's obviously too much to swallow, but just go with it, it's fun.What holds it up most of all might just be the really solid acting from most of the main characters. And the sweetness the seems to permeate the movie through and through. It's low-budget but keeps it confident and well made anyway. It's a good excuse for hanging out with some nice people.

If your willing to slow down the pace and go with this movie, your in for a sweet, thought provoking movie. If your an action movie goer, you may have a hard time staying engaged. Not a fault of the movie of course. The movie is based on the idea that everything in our so called reality is really an illusion. The thought provoking idea of what is real? Who created us and who pulls the strings? I once owned a café' called philosophers stone café' in which the same thought engaging ideas were tossed around with a cup of Joe everyday. Customers always said to me my café scene would make a great movie. Cafe' is close to that. Enjoy.
