The Brass TeapotThe Brass Teapot is a modern fable about money and the meaning of the American dream. Based on the comic book, The Brass Teapot is a feature film about John (Michael Angarano) and Alice (Juno Temple), who live in small down America. They are in their 20's, married, very much in love and broke. Once voted "Most Likely to Succeed," Alice struggles to make ends meet while her friends enjoy the good life. Her husband John, neurotic and riddled with phobias, just wants to get the bills paid. But an accident leads them to a roadside antique shop where Alice is spontaneously drawn to a mysterious brass teapot. It isn't long before they realize that this is no ordinary teapot and that perhaps they have found the answer to all of their financial woes. The Brass Teapot is a magical comedy that reminds us to be careful what we wish for. (c) Magnolia.

Review For The Brass Teapot | |
| Ms. Mosley, who directed from a screenplay by Tim Macy, struggles to fill her debut feature with a slender notion, but the premise defeats her, even if the story operates at the outset on the pleasure principle. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal The Brass Teapot too often devolves into stale slapstick ... Stephanie Zacharek-NPR There's not much depth to Mosley's debut, which is based on a short story by Tim Macy. But Michael Angarano and Juno Temple are an appealing pair as John and Alice, struggling suburbanites. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News Even The Twilight Zone would have struggled with the cutesy conceit of The Brass Teapot ... Nick Schager-Village Voice Far from the offbeat satire on the American dream gone sour it aims to be, The Brass Teapot is more like a dark flirtation with the American nightmare that backfires. Rex Reed-New York Observer The film feels like it's over long before the credits roll-or perhaps that's just wishful thinking. Sam Adams-Time Out New York The Brass Teapot tries to force a moralistic, Twilight Zone-ish plot into an indie comedy, a task that proves impossible for first-time feature director Ramaa Mosley. Josh Modell-AV Club This dark comedy makes a few smart observations about the lengths people will go to snag the American Dream, but its satiric edge gets dulled rather quickly. Tim Grierson-Screen International If you happened upon "The Brass Teapot" on TV and it broke for a commercial, you'd probably change the channel. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine Imbued with a buoyant mysticism, the film is more gag-friendly than idea-based, primarily relying on the considerable charm of its leads to ground its supernatural conceit. Nick McCarthy-Slant Magazine Heavy-handed, but you have to love that message -- "Greed causes physical harm" -- and the ways Juno Temple and Angarano sell it. Roger Moore-Movie Nation Leads Michael Angarano and especially firecracker Juno Temple are the reason to keep watching, but even they cannot breathe life into a compelling concept stretched too thin. Mark Zhuravsky-The Playlist ...there does reach a point wherein Mosley's efforts at prolonging the running time results in elements of desperate nature... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews | |
