Baked in Brooklyn

I like Silicon Valley, except for the series finale, and was curious about Big Head. Saw this movie on his imdb page. I really like AD, but the movie is lacking in too many places. I'm not a stoner, but this wasn't really a stoner picture, wasn't really a comedy, and wasn't really a romcom, wasn't really anything.

The main male lead was too confusing a character. He insists he must sell weed inspite of this hot gorgeous girlfriend warning him about the Possible fallout . He ignores it all in his pursuit to make money thru weed selling. In real life, one, a nerd won't possibly get an awesome girlfriend like Daddario and then not listening to her when she really likes you and wants to spend time with you? Seriously?? The male character is totally a loser the whole movie flies on like that. My favorite thing about the movie? Alexandra Daddario. Lesson for girls like her: Never be around such a guy! You could be in trouble.

Just try and not like Josh Brener. I dare you. There is probably some clinical psychological algorithm out there that can prove that anybody who can honestly say that they just don't care for Josh Brener lives firmly and breathes deeply within the spectrum of sociopathy. Filthy animals. But enough about Josh... You know that sunken feeing that comes with scrolling through the never ending purgatory of the mediocre garbage movie collection that your streaming service is trying to pawn off onto you as a diverse collection of art, when in reality it's nothing more than a mediocre garbage movie collection? It's awful. Then there's that equal and opposite feeling you get when a movie catches your eye right away, you've never heard of it before that moment in time, you take a leap of faith, give it a go, and it's pretty damn good. Well, that's what this one was like. Having lived in Brooklyn for the best years of my life, I'll admit I can be biased concerning movies filmed on location on my old stomping grounds. But that's not enough all by itself, so I'm glad to be able to say that this had more to offer than some nostalgic graffiti and familiar street corners. It had a workable plot, a likable protagonist, a foxy female lead, an indirect (but sure) message that natural drugs are inherently superior to pharmaceuticals, a modest running time, and an agreeable pace. Not to mention that warm fresh towel among men, Josh Brener. I mean, COME ON PEOPLE! I'll be damned if that guy doesn't belong at the tippity top of the top ten most likable cats in the USA list. Though I did catch myself several times throughout the movie wondering what would happen if Josh Brener and Paul Rust ever found themselves at the same party. Awkward. If I had to make a complaint, it would be that the third act is a bit forced, and gets more than a little more "Basketball Diaries" than it needed to get. But whatever. If the premise doesn't repel you on contact, then I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy this pleasant little springtime afternoon nap of a movie. Did I mention Josh Brener is in it?!

Scenario is ok, filming is ok, girlfriend is fantastic but the main character is ... boring. It's not possible to have empathy for him so you're happy that this movie ends (pretty quickly) and it could have been much, much better ... Anyway, the kind of movie to watch home on a rainy day!

Movie is just ok. I love Alexandria, she is the only reason I watched the money. The main male character needs to go to college, he has no street smarts, just a naive kid. The end of the movie was the only upbeat side that I enjoyed. Try it, maybe you'll like it !

I don't often write reviews but I stumbled across this film and loved it. Funny, touching and grounded especially for this type of movie. Contemporary romantic comedy (dramady?). The movie takes you a great little journey with characters that actually come across as real and grounded. I highly recommend this great little date movie.

A much better film than I thought. Looks more like a television film, mainly because of the cast, except hottie Daddario. Yeah, I was interested in this because of none other than her, otherwise a skippable film. But the story was good. Not the greatest one, though for this kind of production, it fared well. And I think you should expect similarly to get a better experience out of it. This is the story of a geek who has a decent life with a well paid job. It is until a girl enters his life, which changes forever. He discovers the alternate way to cope with what he'd lost recently. And his romantic life going to be doomed even before getting it started with a most beautiful woman he had ever dreamed of. So what comes further explains his future from all the aspects of his life. I thought it would be a bakery related theme as I misread the title. Sometimes that's good, because to overtake over expectations. Good performances by all the cast, but like I said Alexandra Daddario could be the reason for many like me to have a peek on this film and it is worth apart from that case. You might see it rated average, but I think it is much better than that if you are honest with your experience of watching it. Surely once watchable film. 6/10

please be aware this review may contain mild spoilers, but nothing too specific* Baked in Brooklyn is the story of David (Josh Brener). Recently fired from his paid intern job, David needs money and he needs it fast. With no immediate prospects David turns to dealing marijuana on the streets of Brooklyn. The big bucks soon come rolling in for David but as his new business grows, so to does his anxiety. As small confrontations take their toll on David's confidence, he begins to neglect relationships with the people in his life. Can David pull himself together and make it out of his self inflicted mess, or will the life of a drug dealer swallow him whole?

Movies of this nature are just straight up boring with weak plots and characters. In this case, the characters were not terrible in any sense and the story was well-organized and constructed. Baked in Brooklyn stars Josh Brener and Alexandra Deddario and was directed by Rory Rooney. It tells the story of a guy, David (Josh Brener) who lost his job and in a bid to earn something fast, he decides to sell weed over the internet. With his two roommates and very hot girlfriend, Kate (Alexandra Deddario) all against him, he continues to venture deeper into the business. With time, his customers start to increase as supply decreases. He loses touch with his friends and girlfriend as he was too busy. His neglecting leads to the breakup between him and his girlfriend Kate. After a threat on his life by his supplier, he decides to quit the weed business and begins to apply for a writer's job. He finds Kate back with her ex which really brought him down to the dumps. He then kisses her in front of her boyfriend and rides away on his bicycle as the boyfriend pursues him. The characters were great. Josh Brener played the character 'David' who was particularly nerdy and was not that attractive. Alexandra Deddario on the other hand was hot (as always😘) and portrayed the character of a college girl who falls for the nerdy guy because he is sort of funny and wonderful. Their chemistry was above average. I felt sorry for David though as things started to fall apart for him. After losing his job, losing his girlfriend, almost losing his life, decides to get his girl back but discovers she was with someone already. Come on, it was devastating. I could tell though that it finally ended well for him as the whole movie was a 'true life experience' he narrated to an audience as was shown at the beginning. Also, I am guessing that he got back with Kate, because after kissing her in front of her new boyfriend, she wasn't mad or angry at him. As a matter of fact, she looked kind of happy as a kind of new flame was ignited in her. So seeing David do that was definitely a turn on for her. I bet that she was going to call David later. The movie was entertaining and I am so proud of Josh Brener (speaking as a fan of SILICON VALLEY). See full review on www.film freak.WordPress.com

Probably one of the dumbest movies I've seen all Summer. The main character was an annoying unfunny dweeb.
