This is as rich as satire gets, and they should have both won awards. First time I saw it I was awestruck and forgot to laugh. Second time, I was rolling on the floor.
When this movie came out, two Starbucks opposite each other was a funny line. It's a reality in my town. (Brighton, UK: Western Road/Churchill Square)
Parker Posey doing her narrow, 'gifted' thing; the yuppie braces are the icing. I am proud to not know what the 'Jay Crew (sp?)' thing is. But loving the slight, over the top satire. And this,.... many hetero men like high cheek bones. Posey has no cheek bones - but , very strong, attractive. Just me?
These films are absolute hoots, and supposedly mostly improvised. It's great to see a great bunch of artists working together without a bunch of computer generated effects. Hope they make some more.
"We saw each other at different Starbucks' - across the street from each other." Fantastic improv from Posey. How is it most scripted comedies aren't HALF as funny as the Guest's films? It's just amusing that someone who takes time to sit down writing a script, thinking up jokes and whatnot, can't do the situation justice in comparison to what these people do at the spur of the moment. Will always amuse and amaze me.
@rdecredico John Cassavetes used to say about his movies that the dialogue was scripted but the emotions were improvised. That's great when it works and unwatchable when it doesn't. Guest seems to have reserved that formula pretty successfully, though admittedly the emotions are a lot simpler in a comedy than in something like _Minnie and Moskowitz_.
@jackal59 - you think comedy is simpler? Try it sometime. These performances walk a much finer line than most dramatic performances. Anybody can mug for a laugh, but to live in a character that is at once despicable and sympathetic takes some real skill... the Chris Guest movies walk a razor's edge.
@GravityJim I don't think comedy is simpler; I think the *emotions* are simpler in a comedy like this. All of the characters in Guest's films are broad in some way. That's part of why we can understand them so quickly and readily. There are comedies in which the emotional connections are more complex, like Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky, but they can tip over too easily into maudlin or awkwardly "meaningful" scenes that fall flat. Guest's films are usually more consistent funny.
I've lived in Seattle for 16 years. Being peevish about coffee names is BEYOND lame. Usually people get snotty about that kind of stuff when they're a 19yo barista, everybody else just rolls their eyes. It's coffee. yawn.
Who ARE these two pretentious idiots talking about their Macs, going to law school, and reading LLBean and JCrew catalogues?? Aachh! Makes me want to stick my fingers down my throat!
I love that they define themselves with products and brands. It's almost not funny when you consider how close to reality this clip is for countless, vacant people. But thankfully it's really funny anyway
Parker's face right before and while Michael says "reading J. Crew" is priceless! Her expression during "Starbucks on weekends" also slays me each and every time! Not to mention her snorting...
I'm a starbucks regular and this never eases to make me laugh.
