Alice (Juno Temple) und John (Michael Angarano) sind ein glückliches Pärchen - aber total pleite. Das Schicksal spielt den beiden einen magischen Teekessel in die Hände. Dieser produziert immer dann Geld, wenn sie sich Schmerz zufügen. Von jetzt an heißt es: Wer reich sein will, muss leiden - egal ob beim Zahnarzt ohne Narkose oder der Ganzkörperenthaarung. Doch nicht nur die Nachbarn wundern sich über den plötzlichen Wohlstand der beiden, auch andere Leute interessieren sich für den Teekessel und sind bereit, dafür über Leichen zu gehen. Das anfängliche Spiel gerät bald völlig außer Kontrolle ... (Ascot Elite Home Entertainment)

I don’t think it’s easy to make a movie that is trying to present the philosophical answer to the issue of money in the form of an abstract idea that is incorporated into the real world. And that’s also why it took me a while to get used to the idea, which may try to seem very imaginative, but which comes off as very unrealistic in that American small town. But after a while, I got used to it. And that was also thanks to the fact that Juno Temple and Michael Angarano did a perfect job portraying the young married couple. They did a great job mainly portraying their development: at the beginning they are poor, but gradually they get richer. In other words, the movie shows what money does to them. And it doesn’t really matter how they came to get the money. I actually got so excited about this idea while watching the film that I was pretty disappointed with the ending featuring the Chinese guy. By the way, Juno Temple was so incredibly interesting and sexy that I think from now on I want to see every movie she’s ever been in…

A very enjoyable, entertaining and light-hearted thriller with the most original idea in years. The story follows a poor married couple, where the wife can't find a job because she would like to become a manager right after she starts working and the husband who gets fired instead of promoted, but one day luck smiles on everyone after stealing a brass teapot from an antique shop that gives out money every time someone near her gets hurt. There's a beautiful depiction of what a person is capable of doing for money, and as it happens in today's world (women are the greedier ones in this regard). The dark humour works too, and there's a decent cliffhanger towards the end. I enjoyed myself immensely. 80%.

I like fantastic movies, but what I like even more are relatively normal movies that have just one fantastic element, something that doesn't belong in our otherwise normal world. That's why I really liked the movie "Wild Creatures of the Southern Lands", as well as the movie "The Remarkable Life of Timothy Green". For this reason, I was quite excited about the movie "The Brass Teapot", which promised something similar. It is true that I did experience something similar, but the fantastic element gets boring after a while and the film falls into a fairly predictable pattern. However, the performances of the actors save it, as they are good enough to carry the film until its relatively overblown running time ends.
