Mixed bag of a picture fails to charm
A charming performance from one of two female leads can’t save this mixed bag of a picture that tries to blend RomCom, absurd humor and a dash of fantasy, and ultimately fails at all three.Cousins Vivien and Chloe inherit their aunt’s bakery, but disagree on how to operate it. Vivien (Aimee Teegarden from TV’s “Friday Night Lights”) wants to keep it traditional, while Chloe (Broadway musical star Krysta Rodriguez) wants to switch it up with modern, healthier recipes.
But their late aunt (the great Linda Lavin, hamming it up) left the place in debt, and an evil, even hammier-acting banker seeks to foreclose. So the plucky girls and their friends hatch a plan to keep it open.
The lazily titled “Bakery in Brooklyn” has a dream-like quality to it. With its obvious set pieces and soundstage, rich and vibrant cinematography, a charming, circus-y score, and fantastic elements such as a blind shoe-shine man who can divine people’s personalities by caressing their footwear, the filmmakers are obviously shooting for New York-based magical realism like “Little Manhattan.”
The result, unfortunately, is much less successful than that superior predecessor.
The biggest problem is the script, which is overloaded with ancillary characters, unimportant side plots and absurd situations.
While it distracts us with stories about a bumbling nerd trying to hook up with a beautiful Spanish girl, and an Eastern European drug dealer who finds a friend in the cousins’ elderly uncle (Ernie “Pumbaa” Sabella), the movie short-changes us on the most important part of the plot — the two cousins’ personality clash. It’s touched upon, but then driven to a heated confrontation in the first act. After that, there wasn’t much interesting left about them for the rest of the movie.
And that’s a shame, because Rodriguez is a joy to watch. Vivacious, witty and adorable, hers is the most enjoyable and well-developed character in a film otherwise stocked with rubber-stamped archetypes.
Meandering character studies, particularly those set in Manhattan, a city well-suited to meandering, can often be enjoyable, and transcend even the most threadbare of a plot.
But “Bakery in Brooklyn” is loaded with so much unnecessary nonsense, its story gets buried and it loses its heart.
And a romantic comedy without heart is like a cannoli without filling. It leaves you craving the sweet it’s missing.
Bizarre
This movie obviously doesn’t take itself seriously. It is confusing and sometimes painful. I also got more laughs out of it than the last 10 “rom/coms” I watched put together.Definitely don’t watch if you don’t like quirky. In fact, you need to love quirky. Almost all the characters are so quirky they border on crazy.
Don’t expect what you might consider a story. Nothing makes sense, especially the sudden hatred between the best friends. Food fights are so yesterday, but this one is actually kind of funny and has a funny follow-up sequence. The last 20 minutes or so after all the chaos, the story begins to come together toward a conclusion. But even that is a parody on all the Hallmark type miraculous HEA endings. It’s so filled with bizarre and unlikely happenings. Likewise, the dialogue has streaks of nonsense, crazy, quirky, funny.
As to the Rom part of rom/com, this movie features a bunch of characters and a few romances rather than concentrating on only one central one.
I guess Iam stalking Daniella could be funny. It’s done in such a ridiculous way that like everything else, you can’t take it seriously. And Daniella puts up with it.
This movie is both brilliant and terrible, like I said, there are painful moments but after sticking with it, I grew immune to the painful. Watch at your own risk. You just might love it. Or hate it.
