The Brass Teapot [Blu-ray]

Outstanding!
My wife and I are a pair of aging boomers, but we loved The Brass Teapot. Full disclosure: It is probably aimed at 20 and 30 somethings, but we were taken by the charm of the story and the authentic renderings by Juno Temple and Michael Angarro -- guess we are young at heart after all. That said, the film deals with some pretty deep philosophical material, yet never seemed to take itself too seriously. Saw it over a week ago, and it is still a rich source of conversation around our house. Lots of fascinating back story to analyze -- can't wait for the sequel! This movie will become a cult classic for a generation. Wonderful film!

Better Than Expected
Judging by the trailers of The Brass Teapot, I didn't expect much from the movie, and it seemed like another cliché and Hollywood version of funny; however after watching it today, I have to admit it has its moments, and it can satisfy different audiences. If you just want to watch something fun and easy-to-digest and you enjoy simple jokes and humors, this movie delivers that with adequate acting and appealing story. If you need something deeper from the movies you watch, you still are going to find some hidden meanings behind simple humor and sarcasms, but you have to look harder. All and all, it is worth one time watching.

Dark comedy, but comedy none the less...
Wife 2.0 and I watched this some time back, renting it while it was still in theaters (or before it was in theaters) via a streaming media service. We enjoyed it, but would note that it includes plenty of graphic violence and cringe worthy scenes that will just as quickly leave you snickering at the events that are unfolding before you.

In the end the holders of the brass teapot may just find that no amount of riches is worth the pain that it may come with.

Fans of films like Prizzi's Honor and 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag would seem to be the target audience here. Another film that comes to mind as being similar enough to this for viewers to enjoy would be The War of the Roses.

I enjoyed this well enough, as did wife 2.0, though I wouldn't go...
