Mostly cringeworthy. The majority of the actors were clearly not British with bad accents, but that's not what made the movie bad. That would just be the reliance on vulgar language and crude situations to make for a storyline. I wanted to smack the actors most of the time and tell them to grow up and get back to work. For instance, the waitress who ignored her senile grandmother - who was especially irritating in her role. Not sure why Katherine Heigel chose to be in such a juvenile and formulaic movie, but it must've been early in her career. There was never an opportunity missed to make the audience roll their eyes or cringe, as with the random depressing guitar song or the crazy old woman's violent antics or the obvious conclusion of who's 'rubber' it must have been. Almost comical how it tried to tie up all the loose ends with a happy ending despite how unbelievable it would be.

Not the best acting or editing but a good plot that makes us want to see it until the end. A nice comedy to see and relax during a weekend evening ir just when you fill lazy. He see how the team managing need to solve their own problems while in each coffee table a different situation us going on. Nice to see how these stories unfold and some cross each other making us hanging around to watch it until the end. As a movie you can easily find better one. As an entertainment it is very fine and reaches good comedy side. So, you loose nothing to see it and for sure it will leave you with a smile in your face when it ends.

It's a little and simple movie entirely shot inside a coffee shop in London but it's quite entertaining and funny. The plot is all about the crossed talks between the costumers and also the employees of the coffee shop and all type of hilarious and absurd situations happens! From the girl who broke up with her boyfriend because he had a threesome with two identical twin girls to the crazy old lady who is shooting a gun inside the bar!! Not to mention the story of the guy who dresses with his wife's underwear Well there are a lot of crazy stories in this film… It just proves one more time that each person is a book full of chapters and that everyone has his little secret written in one of those chapters… I appreciated this movie especially because of that and also because it crosses many characters, stories, funny and crazy moments in a simple and unpretentious way. The cast is good and includes some known actors like Mena Suvari. It was nice to seeing her "practicing" her British accent… I enjoyed this film and I score it 7/10.

Cliché-ridden, wooden stereotypical characters, totally unbelievable situations, disjointed, emotionally shallow, patronising, platitudinous, visually constipated, trivilisation of serious issues . . . the only good thing going for this movie was the location - quite a nice cafe it seemed though near-empty most of the time and soooooo quiet . . . except when someone was screaming out obscenities . . . oh, and as usual the actors, in this case doing their best with such an appalling script. Did anyone involved in making/writing this gumph ever try doing some time in a cafe for example. What was it then . . . a try-out for a series . . . comical, outlandish vignettes of cafe society? Or just a limp attempt by a writer to describe their pathetic existence drinking coffees while they sat attempting to coax their imagination into second gear? I was reminded of Benny Hill, but a benny Hill taking himself seriously and so cooooool . . . . Abysmal.

When the opening scene had two 'stoned' kids explaining in clumsy exposition just how stoned they were ("I am getting anxious! I am so stoned!") I feared that this would be a waste of money, especially given the quality of the trailers on the DVD. But although it's not brilliant, it's actually quite watchable. The first thing I stated when it had finished was this wasn't really a movie per se, but more like an extended play for television. The style is very much like a theatre piece with a series of dialogues and subplots between sets of characters, leeching between groups at times. The acting was competent and the accents were quite convincing in the cases of Heigl and Suvari although no awards are likely to be won. The problem I think many people will have is that it's marketed as a "hilarious" comedy, when it's not. It's an observational piece and a study in embarrassment, more along the same lines of The Office than blatant out-and-out comedy. Although it does have wit to it, this is not a comedic film and doesn't even *feel* like an actual film, so it's liable to confuse people. I doubt if I'd watch it again, but it was entertaining while it lasted and doesn't really deserve the lambasting some of the comments have given it.

I'm still trying to work out how and indeed why this film was ever made. When will filmmakers understand that scripts featuring a variety of characters and hopefully a number of unifying themes are really difficult to pull off? Caffeine doesn't even come close to getting it right. To make matters worse as a comedy it is woefully unfunny to the point of painful. In a nutshell, we're given access to a day in the 'zany' lives of the patrons and staff of the Black Cat Cafe. It's the usual stuff, someone's boyfriend has been cheating on them, someone's grandmother has gone doolally, someone else is waiting for a call from their agent, someone is on the blind date from hell when her ex turns up, someone else is revealed to be a transvestite. Someone turns out to be gay. Each story line plays out like a small sketch and appears to belong to a different film entirely as nothing seems to bind them together. Characters are so undeveloped it's impossible to work up anything approaching sympathy for them and their situations. Indeed characters like Tom the waiter don't even appear to have a back story. The fact it's set in London is incidental as apart from regular glimpses of the odd double decker bus and black cab, it could be anywhere. Even Rachel the owner of the cafe sounds northern. Casting Katherine Heigel and Mena Suvari as Brits seems an odd decision as neither one had box office when this film was released and their attempts at the accent is woeful to say the least. Surely as London is known to be a cosmopolitan city it would have made more sense for them to be Americans? Sadly the basic idea is strong and in other hands Caffeine could have ended up being and entertaining and thought provoking rather than dull as ditch water.

nice. and chaotic.full of good intentions and noble desires but , in many parts, confuse and too strange to not be common. not the cast or the script saves this film. but the expectation of public. because it is not bad but seems be a collection of crumbs without becomes bread.this is basic sin. than - temptation to be original or a kind of Woody Allen films. nice actors, not very inspired humor, many links, couple problems, gay relation, friendship limits, first date, a strange old lady, coffee and escape from a bizarre circle. a lot of ingredients and not very tasty food. sure, it is not bad option for a Sunday evening.
