Stick to decaf, this stuff will give you a headache.

Rating: 3/10 (27 February 2009)

I am sure Jarmusch intended Coffee and Cigarettes to be better than the ordure that poured forth endlessly onto the screen before me - perhaps that was the realisation of the concept! I admired the attempt at something different, but frankly the result was eye wateringly awful with a bitter aftertaste. When even Steve Wright and Roberto Benigni can do no better than college level falseness and over acting you just know something ain't right. The African 'No Problem' sketch with the Dice Man undertones? Please tell me Jarmusch was being blackmailed by one of those two guys into including that stilted and inept nonsense into the final cut! Coogan and Molina, and Blanchet are the few that emerge from this execrable disaster with reputations intact. And Iggy, you just died, mate.The Passenger will never sound the same again.
This film will be called wonderful by many, simply because of the cast, because of the Jarmusch reputation, and because love is blind. This was seen as a seriously off day for Jim by those of us that don't wear rose tinted or sun glasses in cinemas. The funniest line in all of this was actually posted right here on IMDb, with a poster explaining that Tarantino can't do great films like Coffee and Cigarettes because " Tarantino is a cinematographer not a writer (for film)". Thankyou that man. I am still chuckling now.
