This movie is needed.

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2004)

In the modern day film making arena, few movies can make a true impact. The formulaic plots, the predictable character development, and the often stunning amount of money poured into one movie can sometimes overwhelm someone into thinking that it's good, when in actuality, it's merely a shiny piece of dreck. Coffee and Cigarettes is like a breath of fresh air because it has none of the aforementioned qualities. It is what it is, and nothing more. It's not glitzy, show-offy, grandiose crap. If you want to see a movie with huge budgets but lousy substance, go ahead. You can have your thoughts provoked or special effects. Choose wisely.
Coffee and Cigarettes is a good movie not for what it is, but for what it's not.
