briannjs Seriously, how many times do the couple get robbed or have people just swoop into their house? and having to be kicked ass over and over again? and they dont do anything about the security of the house? any simple house alarm system? no wonder why they lived in such a poor state before the teapot their stupidity makes me too frustrated to watch

TxMike I found this movie on Netflix streaming. The premise concerns a young 20-something couple trying hard to use their college education towards a conventional existence in Indiana (filmed in New York). He is a phone salesman trying to get people to buy extended warranties. She is shopping around for a job. But they are barely making ends meet.The young wife is Juno Temple as Alice and the young husband is Michael Angarano John. One day they are driving in a rural area and get hit by a truck that didn't stop at an intersection. There also was a dilapidated antique shop. They go in and on impulse Alice sees and steals a nicely decorated brass pot.Thinking it was only an attractive pot, one day while curling her hair she burns herself and yelps, then finds that the brass pot generated some money, several $20 bills. A light went off in her head, she purposely hurts herself again and more money. Then, the greater the hurt the greater the amount of money.So what we have here is a seemingly unlimited source of money for two young people who are pretty much broke. This spirals into a number of other situations as they try to figure out how to make a million dollars. But some research shows that the brass pot and its magic may be a terror in the long run.Somewhat different theme from most modern movies, I enjoyed it.

witster18 read a review on here about this 'losing steam'...?!?!too bad that reviewer quit paying attention, because the thing that made this stand out to me, was the fact that it kept getting better, that it kept 'pushing the envelope' with the story."The Brass Teapot" is a low-budget comedy from 2012 that I neither noticed nor watched until last week when I was fiddling through Netflix to find something to pass the time.The film, while not rocket-science nor packed with amazing performances or drama, actually backed-into my top 25 for 2012. Sitting at #18 one spot above "Jack Reacher" and one spot below that years blockbuster comedy "21 Jump Street".It really does gain steam though... that's why I brought-up that other review.. because for me it's the opening credits which seem pretty hokey, and the films' opening 20-25 minutes(in which nothing significant happens) that is my biggest gripe with the film.The moral of the story, and the extreme/building to a crescendo nature of the plot, really come together nicely at the end of the film. A really basic idea is done a great service by the writer, the director, and the cast.This reminds me a bit of last years' "Cheap Thrills", and is similarly good given it also had little to work with.. This is actually a touch better because it builds and builds, and the moral hits home a bit truer here.FANTASTIC date movie. Everything you'd look for. Light-hearted, but not too-light-hearted, well-written, entertaining, funny... Smart, under-rated, worth seeking out as a nice sleeper date- nt/spouses-nt-in treat.72/100You might like this if you liked:Seeking A Friend For the End of the World(about even), Mr. Destiny(close, maybe a touch better), Mystery Date(even), Honeymoon in Vegas(not as good), and Let it Ride(a little better). All fine company though.Solid recommendation. Instantly gets added to my "B-Movie-Marathon" lists.. and while I watch about 3-4 films a week, it seems like months between deserved additions to those lists.

Dereklogan104 The movie was not what i that it was going to be i love it and the two lead actors delivery the comic parts really well Juno temple my be in her underwear for most of the movie but she plays her part well and Michael angarano delivers his comic lines well as for the rest of the cast they deliver good all round performances too also the plot of the movie how far will you go for money is a good morality tale which they deal with well so if you want a movie that makes you feel good and takes you away from mundane life i would recommend seeing this very funny flick i am sure you will enjoy it as much as we did a perfect date night movie
