"Like We're In Church Right Now" ~ Cereal And Religion, Aug 1 2008
By Brian E. Erland "Rainbow Sphinx" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flakes (DVD)
Think of the film `Flakes' (`07) as an undated, more hip version of the now defunct but still popular, long running television series `Cheers' only with a vast and varied cereal menu rather than alcoholic beverages. Join store manager Neil Downs (Aaron Stanford) girlfriend Pussy Katz (Zooey Deschanel), owner Willie (Christopher Lloyd) and a zany group of New Orleans residents as they gather daily for a bowl of their favorite cereal.The shop is but a launching pad for a pithy, intelligent, romantic comedy, coming of age storyline that I enjoyed immensely. `Flakes' only shortcoming is the finish. Which isn't necessarily bad, but I just don't think it quite lives up to what preceded it.
This one will stand up well to repeat viewings, which ultimately is the supreme test for any film. Enjoy!

Delightful, May 9 2008
By E. Karasik - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flakes (DVD)
"High Fidelity" meets "Clerks" over a bowl of cereal in this fun little film that rises above its humble subject. I just love the outlandish central conceit of a vintage cereal restaurant, in which the cereal becomes a metaphor for our youthful, untarnished, and yet dysfunctional selves. With a witty, intelligent screenplay and a seriously good cast, it starts out incredibly strong and as quirky as they come (in a good way). I only gave four stars because for me the second half of the film lost its unique flavor and became more of a cliche, but I still think it rocks.

Cute little foul-mouthed Romantic Comedy, May 6 2009
By C. C. Gullo "heycomics" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flakes (DVD)
"Zooey Deschnel CAN do no wrong", touts the DVD jewel book. He's right, she's always delightful and is great in this rock-bottom bugeted film. The lead who is a manager in a cereal resturant (eh, any "Mr. Wonderful's Surprise"? my favorite long defunct cereal from the 1970's) is very good as well. Chris LLoyd is very good as an aging hippie who owns "FLAKES".A neo-yuppie opens a competitive carbon-copy store across the New Orleans street and the drama ensues. Well-written, quirky and funny movie. Highly recommended.
Listmania!
