Review of Flakes (2009) by Regie N — 13 Apr 2010
This is one film that seems as though will only get viewes watching because of Zooey Deschanel's involvment. One's curisosity will be the decider factor on a viewing and might be judged soley on whether this adorable invididual deliversn the goods.
It's a short film for sure, econimcal, certaintly and fun as anything, rivally perhaps Empire Records as a place you'd just love to work because of the people invovled. The premise and characters are unique, the story in paper thin but when you have characters this fun and indisyncratic who cares.
It could be a little longer but you feel as though (or I did) like you had visited a place that's probably too good for the real word...ala Empire Records. Zooey Deschanel charming as ever and Aaron Stanford makes a nice parnter for her and they riff of each other like they have been friends for years and lovers for longer.
The relationship they have can potentially make one jealous.. especially if you are a fan and like me in love with Zooey Deschanel. A fun movie that doesn't have much to say but in the end you'll wish you were working for Christopher Lloyd.
