Review of The Brass Teapot (2012) by Chris B — 16 Mar 2014
A nice timewaster with a few unexpected surprises. Namely the small role played by Alia Shawkat.
The movie itself is a bit too predictable and droll. And a few timeline elements are compressed too far to be believable.
But neither of those things take away from the engaging quality that Juno Temple and Michael Angarano have on screen.
A movie with this premise has many ways it could go, but in general it feels pretty restrained. For an R movie it has the same kind of restraint that a PG-13 Disney special would have. The early fairy tale atmosphere helps drive this home.
