Cafe (2010)

[Ceetar]

Netflix wrote: For the up-and-comers on Philadelphia's west side, West Philly Grounds is the place to be. There, Claire (Jennifer Love Hewitt) serves wisdom along with coffee and scones. The clientele comes to her with advice in love, life and careers. But even the neighborhood's favorite gathering place has a dark side. Jamie Kennedy, Alexa Vega, Madeline Carroll and Daniel Eric Gold co-star in writer-director Marc Erlbaum's slice-of-life drama.

That description was horrible. It really has nothing to do with anything like that.

this one's better

IMDB wrote: When tragedy strikes the community surrounding a cafe in West Philadelphia, the cafe's regulars come to realize how intertwined their lives truly are.

Either way, I enjoyed this one, despite the very blatant biblical allusions. The story basically takes place within the Cafe the entire time, except for one scene just outside. It goes day by day and you check in with most of the regulars as they develop their story and you learn new things about them all. A lot of interesting stories that I think were richly created, although some have very little to do all-in-all with the overall plot. Lots of beautiful women in the there too.
