Café is a 2010 independent drama film directed by Marc Erlbaum. It stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Daniel Eric Gold, Alexa Vega and Jamie Kennedy, who was Hewitt's boyfriend at the time of filming.
A good-hearted musician struggles to find a way to tell his beautiful barista coworker that he loves her, despite the fact that she is in a relationship. Meanwhile, regulars and customers at the café where they work have their own problems and encounters. A police officer keeps his eye on his wayward cousin, who owes money to a charismatic dealer, and a married man contemplates his relationship with a good-looking new acquaintance. However, one customer learns he is in fact the main character in the microcosm of the café, all designed by a young girl, who is actually God.
Filming started on May 11, 2009 in Philadelphia and ended in June 2009.
The film premiered at the 19th Philadelphia Film Festival in October 2010.
In February 2011, Maya Releasing acquired the film rights for the US theatrical and home video release and foreign sales of Café.
Café opened on August 19, 2011 in Los Angeles, California.
The Los Angeles Times gave the film a mixed review, commending the acting from the leads but stating that the "story lines don't all effectively intertwine beyond their shared location."
The film won the "Crystal Heart Award" at the 2010 Heartland Film Festival, with producer Chris Wyatt attending to accept the trophy.
