Synopsis: In a coffee shop in a tight-knit Oregon community, local professor Harry Stevenson witnesses love and attraction whipping up mischief among the town's residents. From the unlucky in love, die-hard romantic coffee shop owner Bradley who has a serial habit of looking for love in all the wrong places; to the edgy real estate agent Diana who is caught up in an affair with a married man; to the beautiful young newcomer Chloe who defies fate in romancing the troubled Oscar; to Harry himself, whose adoring wife is looking to break through his wall of grief after the wrenching loss of a beloved...
They all intertwine into one remarkable story in which no one can
escape being bent, broken, befuddled, delighted and ultimately redeemed
by love's inescapable spell.
DVD Features:
The Players
What Fools These Mortals Be
A Merry FEAST
Critique:
Whether you've been in love, are in love, fell out of love or were heartbroken, Feast of Love covers most scenarios. With believable stories and characters, this film works well.
Freeman and Kinnear both give fabulous performances, providing a substantial complexity to their characters' roles to move the plot along to a culminating end.
The DVD extras include the traditional cast and crew interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, a perfect compliment to this heartfelt production.
Final Analysis: This is a great date movie, perfect for anyone in love with the idea of love. Would make a great Valentine's Day gift...if one were so inclined.
