Patisserie Coin de Rue jmovie! Ok, if desserts and cute actors are involved, I'm watching. A young woman, Natsume, played by Yu Aoi is a country bumpkin looking for her boyfriend in Tokyo. She gets a job at the Patisserie Coin de Rue until she can find him. The beginning of the movie unfortunately, spends too much time establishing the characters. Their roles aren't too complicated and really didn't need that time. The latter half of the movie is where a conflict arises, and Natsume asks a reluctant legendary pastry chef to help them out. There's an almost comedy between Natsume and Tomura, the older chef. Natsume has a rough and outspoken personality, and Tomura also doesn't hold back with his opinions. The problem is that these two characters shine too late in the movie and not often enough. ~6/10 rating~ for an average movie about people and pastries.
