Review of Baked in Brooklyn (2016) by M W — 16 Nov 2016
"Half-Baked in Brooklyn" would be a better title for this film, which was a coming of age story about a character that seemed to be patterned after Woody Allen (the whiney, neurotic character he plays, not the esteemed director).
He was mostly not funny (at least to me), and although there were a few humorous moments, they were way too few and far between. The relationship between him and his beautiful and rather bland girlfriend was not remotely believable.
The production values were high, acting was pretty good, but the story and characters were badly lacking. I will give it two stars because I did watch it all the way to the end, but that was only because I wanted to see the annoying "hero" of this movie either beaten up or arrested, preferably both.
I doubt that's the reaction the director desired, but who knows?
