4.0 out of 5 stars "Like We're In Church Right Now" ~ Cereal And Religion, August 1, 2008

This review is from: Flakes (DVD)

Think of the film `Flakes' (`07) as an undated, more hip version of the now defunct but still popular, long running television series `Cheers' only with a vast and varied cereal menu rather than alcoholic beverages. Join store manager Neil Downs (Aaron Stanford) girlfriend Pussy Katz (Zooey Deschanel), owner Willie (Christopher Lloyd) and a zany group of New Orleans residents as they gather daily for a bowl of their favorite cereal.

The shop is but a launching pad for a pithy, intelligent, romantic comedy, coming of age storyline that I enjoyed immensely. `Flakes' only shortcoming is the finish. Which isn't necessarily bad, but I just don't think it quite lives up to what preceded it.

This one will stand up well to repeat viewings, which ultimately is the supreme test for any film. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute little foul-mouthed Romantic Comedy, May 6, 2009

"Zooey Deschnel CAN do no wrong", touts the DVD jewel book. He's right, she's always delightful and is great in this rock-bottom bugeted film. The lead who is a manager in a cereal resturant (eh, any "Mr. Wonderful's Surprise"? my favorite long defunct cereal from the 1970's) is very good as well. Chris LLoyd is very good as an aging hippie who owns "FLAKES".
A neo-yuppie opens a competitive carbon-copy store across the New Orleans street and the drama ensues. Well-written, quirky and funny movie. Highly recommended.

Indie films are always a bit of a throw of the dice. Some are amazing, many are so - so and many fall flat on their faces and leave you wondering what the film maker was thinking. I own a copy of this film and it comes close to the amazing mark. In any case it is good. Above all, the actingwas first class. This is not a perfect movie but it is very well done.
