The Brass Teapot 2012

     This film is based on a comic book series with the same name.  Alice and John are a married couple struggling to pay their bills.  Alice is trying to get a job but she doesn’t have the qualifications for a most of the jobs advertised.  John’s job is calling people and trying to convince them to keep their television service contracts.  John is fired which is almost the last straw.  Then they get into a car accident with someone running into their very tired car.  Right after the accident, Alice sees a small shop beside the road.  She sees an antique teapot inside and she must have it.  She runs out of the shop with it and soon after she finds out the teapot will give you money when you feel pain.

     So many times I wanted to stop watching and do anything else!!  You want to find out what happens in the end but getting there is a hard slog.  The plot is very thin and nearly unbelievable at every turn.  A lot of cutesy thrown in too.  3* (This movie is OK)
