... View MoreThis pretty dated short promoting coffeehouses is and why you should either go to one or form your own, is not as bad as some other shorts I have seen but it is still pretty bad. The music isn't too horrendous in the high school and church coffeehouses and the people involved seem genuine. The coffeehouse at Brandeis University however seems to reinforce all the negative stereotypes of coffeehouse patrons; lousy folk music, insufferable intellectualism, and artsy ill-written poetry. One Crispin Glover lookalike talks about the solemn atmosphere of the place while the band finishes up an upbeat song. The short manages to get it's point across, albeit with a muddy tint and dated music and dialogue.

Basically you watching people either drinking coffee or watching people watching Peter Paul & Mary wannabes sing their way into your hearts, filmed as if the short was dipped in coffee. There is a college debate going on, some dude dolling out bad poetry, but the bulk of it is bad folk songs, most memorably a protest song with a stupid title called "Teenage Teen" and the piano-driven title song that will stick in your brain for days on end. Bad live music and coffee: two things that don't go great together.
