YesAsia Editorial Description
IN THEATRES DECEMBER 19, 2007 (Limited)
This quirky romantic comedy stars Aaron Stanford (X-MEN 3: THE LAST STAND) as Neal Downs, a struggling musician, and Zooey Deschanel (ELF, ALMOST FAMOUS) as Miss Pussy Katz, his whimsical girlfriend and voice of reason. Living in New Orleans' historic French Quarter, Neal and Miss Katz are bound for great things, with his passion for music and her artistic talent, but their fears and slacker attitudes are holding them back. By day Neal works in a corner café, Flakes, that sells only breakfast cereal. He serves up crunchy delights to curmudgeons and stoners alike, and he takes care of the managerial duties for the eccentric owner, Willie, portrayed endearingly by Christopher Lloyd (BACK TO THE FUTURE). Seeing that his day job is getting in the way of his dream, Miss Katz begs Neal to take some time off to finish his CD. Avoiding her request and his music, Neal becomes even more involved with Flakes and its unique clientele as a competing entrepreneur sets up shop across the street in the hopes of cashing in on the niche market. At her wits' end, Miss Katz turns to drastic measures and helps the competition in an attempt to sabotage Flakes and get Neal back to his music. Though all is fair in love and war, will her plan work or only tear them apart?
Since he directed the mid-80s cult classic HEATHERS, Michael Lehmann has worked on acclaimed television series such as BIG LOVE, THE WEST WING, and THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW. Though Lehmann has also helmed features such as 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS and THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS, FLAKES feels closer to some of his small-screen work. In less capable hands, the characters in his film might feel average, but the talent of the actors prevails. Stanford, Deschanel, and Lloyd portray their roles with such inspiration and heartfelt dignity that one can't help but root for them.
