The Brass Teapot




This 2012 Comedy/Fantasy/Thriller was quite interesting, mostly because viewers weren't sure whether they should laugh, feel for the characters or take the whole thing seriously. Quite a combination of genres but writers Tim Macy and writer/director Ramaa Mosley managed to conjoin them into an entertaining film with an important message.

English sweetheart Juno Temple whom you may remember from 'Notes on a Scandal' as well as 'Atonement' stars alongside New York native Michael Angarano. They play a money-less couple  that have big dreams and the love they share until one little brass teapot changes their lives forever. Piercing blue-eyed, Alexis Bledel whom you may remember from 'Gilmore Girls', 'Sin City' or 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' also co-stars and adds a 'grass ain't always greener on the other side' theory. My favourite characters however were Jack McBrayer who you may have seen on '30 Rock' as well as Steve Park who played 'Dr Ling'.

Dreams aren't fulfilled overnight, they take dedication, strength, determination and loads of practice (in some cases hard work). This film poses the question to the audience, what would you do if there were an easy way to get what you wanted? Would you take it? Would it change you? How far would you be willing to go? Because everything in life, comes with a price.
