quitwhileyouareahead A couple of reviews compared this movie to other Director's efforts and I will add one more. This movie reminded me of Josh Radnor's movies and with the narration of his "How I met your Mother" show. The lead is a likable flawed character with an assortment of odd friends and a delightful antagonist played by Josh Groban. Like "Mother" they all come together in the local watering hole, in this case, coffee shop. You add in the romantic love interest played by "Friday Night's Light" alumni Palicki and you have a nice chemistry that could probably fuel its own series. Very little toilet humor, no drugs or other such staples of your average comedy movie these days. If you like "New Girl"'s Jake Johnson, don't blink or you will miss him.

gavin6942 A website manager (Glenn Howerton) enlists the help of his two friends in order to convince the owners of his favorite coffee shop -- which doubles as his office -- not to turn their business into a bar.The world of comedy has changed, perhaps radically, over the past few years. Traditionally, comedy was the domain of film, television and stand-up. But now we are seeing the growth of Internet comedy, which in some cases eclipses the old model. Funny or Die is consistently hilarious, and even SNL alum Andy Samberg grew more in popularity from YouTube plays of Lonely Island songs than he did on television. Jon LaJoie was able to land a role on "The League" from his Internet fame.And now we are seeing these upstarts, like LaJoie, transitioning to television and movies and changing the game. "Drunk History" is a prime example ,and so is College Humor, which brought us "Coffee Town". Wisely, they teamed up with writer-director Brad Copeland ("Arrested Development") and cast some amazing stars, Glenn Howerton ("Always Sunny") and Ben Schwartz ("Parks and Rec"). Perhaps the most clever casting was actually Josh Groban, who plays Howerton's nemesis, a barista and struggling musician. Not known for his acting, he excels with the role and does a fine job subverting his own image as a widely successful musical icon. Although probably not intentional, "Always Sunny" fans will also know that Groban is the favorite musician of Dee Reynolds, the sister of Howerton's character.Copeland's script (and the way the actors carry it out) make this among the funniest films released in recent years. The subject matter goes over race, homosexuality, midget porn, Down's Syndrome, AIDS and a variety of other taboo topics. And at no point does it ever get offensive or verge from being witty and original. This is humor that is irreverent without ever being degrading or tacky.Not to mention the inherent truth of the setup. This is very much your typical coffee shop with its patrons, many of whom want only to use the wi-fi or read a free newspaper. And one character even takes up smoking so he can get extra breaks during the day -- a phenomenon that any non-smoker is fully aware of and possibly envious of, as well. Anyway, this film seems to have gone under the radar thus far, and one hopes this will change in the near future upon its DVD release. With so many quotable lines and fun, quirky characters, this could grow to be a minor cult classic.

Author Amanda Howard I found this film by accident and am glad I did. What a great film, great comic timing, a great storyline and a great cast. Yes I thought the film was great. The film harks back to the films Kevin Smith made in the beginning of his career and I wish he had continued. I thoroughly enjoyed this film from its brilliant and creative opening credits to its little jokes in the end credits. There were actual laugh out loud moments and I really think that Josh Groban stole the show.The cast worked well together and they all seemed to enjoy the film. The extras, down to Phil's happy birthday opera being dismissed was really funny. Those who hate politically incorrect jokes may not enjoy the film as much as I did, but if you just enjoy a joke for the sake of a joke then this film is one to see.

jonas-ua This is just one of those times where you get someone who has yet to produce a feature film do so and hit it out of the ballpark. It has a funny storyline, a great cast, and a veritable who's who of cameos from college-humor actors. The best thing about it however is it's writing, it is one of those movies that doesn't take itself too seriously and in that allows it to have quite juvenile humor. Josh Groban plays a great antagonist in the movie, and I hope to soon see him in more comedies as he certainly has a nac for acting (what is he not good at?). I would recommend this for anyone who wants to see a good and refreshingly original comedy. It follows movies like Ted and 21 jump street as refreshing and original comedy on the silver screen.
