Not worth the time it takes to watch it. Terrible performances by otherwise good actors means it's on the director.
Randall Miller's lackluster attempt at a satirical comedy that falls flat on every level. The film tries to explore the cutthroat competition between two coffee chains, but instead of delivering a sharp commentary on corporate greed and consumerism, it resorts to cheap gags, offensive stereotypes, and uninspired storytelling.
The characters are one-dimensional and unlikable, with the exception of the protagonist who is merely tolerable at best. The script is riddled with cliches, contrivances, and forced jokes that only elicit cringes and groans from the audience. The pacing is sluggish, and the direction is amateurish, lacking any creative flair or visual finesse.
The film's attempts at social commentary are misguided and shallow, reducing complex issues to simplistic caricatures and trivializing the struggles of marginalized communities. The portrayal of women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ characters is regressive and offensive, perpetuating harmful stereotypes and reinforcing the status quo.
Overall, "Coffee Wars" is a forgettable film that fails to entertain or enlighten. It's a shame that such a talented cast and crew were wasted on this subpar and misguided project. Save your time and money and skip this film.
