The average movie goer will find this unconventional film boring and its lack of action unsatisfying, but it does have its positive side. Since there is no action, Coffee and Cigarettes contains no violence or sex. Most of the characters, or speakers, have redeeming desires, but few enjoy the company of the person sitting across the table from them. Of the 11 sketches, it is primarily one that makes the film objectionable, containing 90% of the offensive language, which is substantial with more than 40 f-words and 20 occurrences of profanity. But, as a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough, so this one conversation ruins the movie.
