Will is a 30-something website manager who uses local café, Coffee Town, as his office. When the owners of the shop discuss plans to convert Coffee Town into a bar, Will enlists the help of his two best friends Chad and Gino to save his freeloading existence. In order to thwart the plans of Coffee Town's owners, the trio stages a robbery to create the illusion of an unsafe neighborhood not suitable for the proposed venue. Also standing in their way is Sam, a disgruntled barista with delusions of grandeur and Will's heartache over unrequited love for Becca.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Buckscoblogger At first I thought it was rather amusing but that lasted for about five minutes and then it was like ho-hum. It seems that the writers really didn't know what they were doing when they wrote this screenplay and the actors are just simply "phoning it in." Even Groban's acting like he's a bad musician is such an epic fail. I get it, he likes to play characters that are the opposite of him but this whole, "Hey, I'm supposed to be this nice guy but I like playing the d-bag" routine is getting OLD. Also, joking about the ex-roommate who died of AIDS? THAT'S NOT COOL! I like sarcasm and I can watch things that have insulting humor with no problem but you know what? I also know when to draw the line. If you're going to watch this movie, make sure you're high or drunk first because it's obvious that's who they were trying to attract...STONERS.
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.
Jeff Zimmerman Really enjoyed watching this movie. One of those chill, slapstick comedies you can watch over and over. Glen Howerton is exceptional and fun just as in Sunny. Supporting cast fit there characters profile. Pace of the story kept move, didn't really ever seem to get slow or dull like some other B rated comedies do. Also this is the only movie that I know of that has referenced the 1986 BMX movie "RAD". Totally hit my funny bone and I wanted to pull out the old BMX bike again.Hope they come out with more movies like this one.Thanks for the laughs!
