JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Michael Radny Whilst the Brass Teapot starts off promising, it then slumps into a typical melodramatic snore fest that you may find in a Disney kids film. Though I will admit, The Brass Teapot is a cool idea, the unfortunate part of this is the jealousy that follows. The whole time I was thinking what I could do with it rather than focusing on the narrative of the film. It's funny, but tragic at the same time. Dumb decisions are made which makes you cringe and the recycled material of the story leads nowhere exciting. A good attempt to make a good film, but for the most part this film turns out so-so. It loses its charm quickly, which is unfortunate and its comedy factor gets weary. Definitely the film that could have been.
kosmasp The idea of the movie is not new. Maybe the "catalyst" is sort of fresh (no pun intended), but overall you know where this is heading early on. Even more so if you read what the movie is about. I hadn't and the German title of the movie is a bit weird - injury award/compensation would be a translation. But it's not for the viewer of the movie (the movie isn't that bad anyway ;) ).It's a pretty solid B-movie, with solid acting. The plot moves along nicely and even when it hurts and seems implausible it still kind of works. There's not too many highlights in this one, but rather a stream that can be entertaining.
Kevin Bannigan Maybe the movie is a tiny bit familiar, which is why it can't be rated ten stars. Nevertheless, The Brass Teapot is a very, very good movie, both funny and thrilling, well directed, and super well written. The comedy isn't clichéd, the quotes are clever, and the two main character's give great performances. I started to guess the budget of this film, and I guessed maybe four million, five tops, when in fact it wasn't even one million, which is really, really impressive. The Brass Teapot contains several very funny scenes, but also has a serious side as well. There's some moral tucked within as well, but I don't judge movies based on that, but rather how entertaining they were, how much fun I had, and this one was a blast! I loved the dance scene in the beginning while The Clash's song was playing. Overall, a movie that maybe isn't entirely original, but is still unique enough to absolutely make it worth the watch, and Juno Temple is wonderful in this film.
Paul Magne Haakonsen "The Brass Teapot" started out as quite alright and lasted so up until just after the mid-point or there about, then the steam started to escape out of the kettle (if you get the pun), and it drastically went down in speed and lost appeal fast.The story is about a struggling young couple who happen to come across a magical brass teapot that has the ability to conjure forth money whenever there is pain and misery in its vicinity. And while every seems to be grand and wonderful with all the money in the world at hand, the curse that the teapot bears soon starts to take a toll on the couple.I will say that the storyline was good and it had some very interesting moments and aspects. And there were also moments throughout the movie that were great and funny. But it just started to become a dragged out pain to sit through the movie somewhere after the mid-point.Acting-wise, then "The Brass Teapot" does have some good actors and actresses to the cast list. And it is good to see talents that are in the movie for the talents and not just because they are glamorous and famous."The Brass Teapot" had potential, but it just wasn't fully put to use. While I enjoyed the first part of the movie, I ended up with my phone in my hand a couple of times throughout the last part. And as such, because the movie failed to keep my attention, then I am rating "The Brass Teapot" a mere mediocre 5 out of 10 stars.
