Flakes 2007

Miss Katz, portrayed by Zooey Deschanel, is on a mission to persuade her boyfriend to give up his unfulfilling job at Flakes, a quirky cereal shop that embodies their bohemian lifestyle. When a zealous entrepreneur opens a knock-off version of their beloved establishment across the street, Miss Katz feels compelled to enter the fray and battle the newcomer in a bid to save Flakes.

As the competition heats up, the situation unravels into a series of hilarious stand-offs, witty pranks, and ingenious acts of revenge, which ultimately puts their relationship on the line. The stakes are high as one half of this spirited couple may find victory, yet their connection could be left in disarray.

This delightful comedy also depicts a laid-back bistro owner, a former hippie, who devotes his days to serving cereal while engaging with the local crowd about cereal’s rich history and the perfect milk-to-flake ratio. However, the tranquility of his cereal kingdom is shattered when a savvy rival sets up shop nearby, leading to unexpected confrontations.

Featuring a talented cast that includes Aaron Stanford, Izabella Miko, and Christopher Lloyd, director Michael Lehmann crafts a story filled with laughter and chaos, revealing how a bright, cereal-laden utopia can turn topsy-turvy amidst competition and love.
