Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Micransix Crappy film

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

witster18 read a review on here about this 'losing steam'...?!?!too bad that reviewer quit paying attention, because the thing that made this stand out to me, was the fact that it kept getting better, that it kept 'pushing the envelope' with the story."The Brass Teapot" is a low-budget comedy from 2012 that I neither noticed nor watched until last week when I was fiddling through Netflix to find something to pass the time.The film, while not rocket-science nor packed with amazing performances or drama, actually backed-into my top 25 for 2012. Sitting at #18 one spot above "Jack Reacher" and one spot below that years blockbuster comedy "21 Jump Street".It really does gain steam though... that's why I brought-up that other review.. because for me it's the opening credits which seem pretty hokey, and the films' opening 20-25 minutes(in which nothing significant happens) that is my biggest gripe with the film.The moral of the story, and the extreme/building to a crescendo nature of the plot, really come together nicely at the end of the film. A really basic idea is done a great service by the writer, the director, and the cast.This reminds me a bit of last years' "Cheap Thrills", and is similarly good given it also had little to work with.. This is actually a touch better because it builds and builds, and the moral hits home a bit truer here.FANTASTIC date movie. Everything you'd look for. Light-hearted, but not too-light-hearted, well-written, entertaining, funny... Smart, under-rated, worth seeking out as a nice sleeper date- nt/spouses-nt-in treat.72/100You might like this if you liked:Seeking A Friend For the End of the World(about even), Mr. Destiny(close, maybe a touch better), Mystery Date(even), Honeymoon in Vegas(not as good), and Let it Ride(a little better). All fine company though.Solid recommendation. Instantly gets added to my "B-Movie-Marathon" lists.. and while I watch about 3-4 films a week, it seems like months between deserved additions to those lists.

bowmanblue 'The Brass Teapot' is basically a fable, retold for the modern audience with the addition of call-centres and camera phones. A young married couple, currently struggling in these financially-difficult times, think their luck has finally changed when they come into the possession of a brass teapot – one which very kindly spews money whenever one of them hurt themselves.Now, at first the odd pinch here and there gives them enough money to pay their rent, but, before long, the temptation to score 'big bucks' out of the teapot becomes too tempting and they need to up their 'physically enduring' game.The story is nothing new. It's one where we can see how greed can corrupt the virtuous and that love should be treasured over materialistic wealth. However, just because it's a tale as old as time, doesn't mean it's not very enjoyable.For a start, the young couple are just so likable. They are genuinely nice people who do love each other and are finding it hard to make ends meet, financially. And that's probably something most of us can relate to in this day and age. When they do get the teapot and start exploiting its powers, they do it in a way that most of us probably would and nothing ever really seems too far-fetched (assuming you can suspend your disbelief enough to believe in magic teapots).The story does change in 'feel' a bit as it goes on. The beginning has people falling off bicycles and awkward situations that give it an 'American Pie' kind of feel. However, as the film goes on, you start seeing the darker side to the magic and it ends up coming across like a Japanese horror film about possession and betrayal.If you can take the genre switch and are happy to watch a story that you will probably work the ending out without much trouble, you'll probably enjoy retreading a well-worn path as it's just such good fun.

utgard14 A bizarre, unique comedy about a down-on-their-luck couple who discover a stolen brass teapot has magical powers: whenever one of them is hurt, the teapot gives them cash. So they go on a campaign of self-inflicted injury to get rich. But eventually they must decide how far they're willing to take things.This is definitely a different movie. Michael Angarano is likable and Juno Temple makes any movie better just by being in it. It starts off strong but loses a little steam once it gets into the teapot's mystery and the different people trying to take it. Then it gets ugly and it's just not much fun anymore. It's a shame because it could have been great. Still, it's watchable and it ends nicely after a long rough patch.

Dereklogan104 The movie was not what i that it was going to be i love it and the two lead actors delivery the comic parts really well Juno temple my be in her underwear for most of the movie but she plays her part well and Michael angarano delivers his comic lines well as for the rest of the cast they deliver good all round performances too also the plot of the movie how far will you go for money is a good morality tale which they deal with well so if you want a movie that makes you feel good and takes you away from mundane life i would recommend seeing this very funny flick i am sure you will enjoy it as much as we did a perfect date night movie
