Excellent Movie! Watch It! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

This movie is very French. All actors did well and of course I'm a fan of Ju Ji Hoon. I'm adding my praise because it is entertaining, colorful, funny with the right exaggerations. Most importantly, I like the underlining message of enjoying your life amid imperfections and a sad past. Threat yourself to a beautiful and delicious piece of French pastry when you are down or sad, and you will feel better. Don't eat like the pastry apprentice though because you will have a heart attack! :)

TIP:Have at least one piece of your favorite French pastry ready in front of you when you start this movie because it will make you drool, lol!. Keep an open mind too! :)

Camp comedy, serious drama...cakes Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

By Antique having such a mix of contrasting film genre types, it could make you wonder how on earth all of this would work properly. Comedy, camp, serious drama and lots of cakes? But with a well-defined script, excellent acting and a director’s skill to blend these different film types together, makes for one of the most interesting Korean films of the year.

With parallels of sorts to the recent Coffee Prince K-drama by its serving shop setting (luxurious cakes this time instead of pricey coffee), this initially begins like a typical K-comedy. But with added breezy visuals and surreal theatricals (as much from camp-it-up Jae Wook Kim as the colorful cakes), this comedy soon switches genre gear into “Daesapo Naughty Fellas” with sudden bursts of dream like Busby Berkeley musical moments, by overhead synchronized dancers and multiple scene shifting stage theatrics. These musical aspects reflect the modern ‘theatre’ of TV cooking programmes with the multi colorful variety of cakes on display, and the paraphernalia involving four very eccentric and amusing characters. Along with this showy TV type advertisement inside the renovated Antique shop, this film illustrates a type of a “Moulin Rouge” Nicole Kidman surrealism.

But aside to the comedy and song and dance music, “Antique” also as some darker plot elements relating to Jin Hyuk’s past. In fact not far off the cake eating children scenario of Korean horror “Hansel and Gretel”. But although having dark tones, this film steps along to comedy shenanigans cadence than anything else.

All four main actors are perfect in their roles; a male gay queen cake maker who loves Jin Hyuk since school days, the irrational ‘girl rejected’ cake shop owner Jin Hyuk who as Jin Hyuk running after him than women, a cake chomping ex-boxer champ who is the shops apprentice and eats most of the cakes, and a deadpan body guard fella from Jin Hyuk’s past who is the quiet slow thinking type. The four’s perfect timing and camaraderie is excellent.

No doubt a film that requires an open mind set, but considering this is not a “No Regrets” type point maker, anyone can naturally enjoy the camp comedy and drama here like most other movies. But this isn’t any other movie though, as “Antique’s” finesse and quality firmly entrenches this into a sure fire Korean classic. Could even reap some awards, too.

Excellent 2 disk too with loads of extras worth seeing even without subtitles.

Simply Charming Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

I found this movie to be a commical, sad, sympathetic, happy, yet if not daring film.

This is a classic tale of Antique Bakery (based off of the Japanese manga), but the Korean actors do an absolute excellent job of interpreting the story.

For those of you who are homophobes and not open minded, this is not the film for you. So don't buy this and then start bashing the film due to your beliefs. Read the description before buying this.

However, for those who are open minded, I really recommend you give this film a spin. It's like a combination of musical, play, and movie acting all in one. Some of the songs are really catchy and get to you like those from Broadway plays. (Not to mention a lot of fanservice ^^.)

I found this to be highly creative and praiseworthy. It's artistic in its presentation and you'll find yourself rewatching the film in order to see if you can interpret the movie in a different light.

This version comes with a lot of extra footage.

Nice movie Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

I wonder if I should get this version or wait for the normal version to come out. This seems very attractive, it comes with lots goodie and it's great for collection. I promised myself last year when i saw this movie's preview that I was going to buy this regardless, but I'm little money tight now. The story is classic and the actors are great, some of them are new to movie, but still great acting.
