CAFe CAFe (2013)
Some funny scenes but not a compelling story
There are some terrific scenes in this movie that are genuinely funny and enjoyable to watch. Especially ones with Caroline Braun, she is hilarious and totally steals the show. People familiar with Montreal may even find it funnier but I've never been so couldn't say.
I liked the quirky atmosphere of the Cafe and thought the way the characters nonchalantly mixed French and English was great and helped give it an authentic feel.
At times the scenes feel disjointed from one another and I never really felt drawn in to the story. I didn't feel any chemistry between Vlad and Vanessa so I didn't really care what happened to the relationship in the end and it was hard to tell if they cared either
The Bracelet of Bordeaux (2007)
Simply unwatchable
My girls (ages 7,8,9) picked this movie because it had dogs in it. None of them made found it the least bit interesting. They were so bored they didn't even laugh at the farting dogs.
The plot is very difficult to follow the whole bracelet thing isn't really explained and the acting is atrocious. The story strikes me as something you might read in a Jr high creative writing assignment.
The cinematography looks like it was shot with a 1990s camcorder, some scenes you aren't even sure where it fits in to the story line.
This is an hour and a half of my life I'll never have back. I think the people who give this movie 10s probably were involved in making it.
