I just don't wanna see any crust wastage like what we saw David Carridine do in Kill Bill 2.

I'm not sure if it shrinks or not, but I don't think it always comes out as fresh as a new loaf.

I like how they didn't change the title of the short story when adapting it into a movie.

***Spoiler Alert*** The twist is that the bread actually expands when frozen!

I froze my copy and it seemed to stay the same size as before.

Well, apparently this movie did so well at the box office, the sequel, based on the graphic novel, has already been green-lit.

What about Hamburger Buns?

The red band trailer is much better, but they took it off Youtube last week. Let's just say you get to see full loaf...

Is this bread movie in Italian or French with subtitles?

It wound up being 116 minutes, but it's rated R so that should compensate for the low runtime.

The movie wound up being a play on modern politics, I especially liked
Spoiler:
nothing, it was a movie about bread for fucks sake. Seriously. There was one cool scene when the gang of pumpernickel took on the matzo, I was also a little surprised at the "this is for my baker!" mentality and the subsequent self sacrifices with strapped on yeast packets and banana nuts.
. I dunno, it was just really dumb.

The runtime is the yeast of my worries.

"Does bread shrink..." is probably the best movie of the year.

But...
Spoiler:
They're making a spin-off TV series called "Bread Sticks" and a theme park called "Bread Canyon", and a music festival called "Breadapalooza"


I'm excited, but I think it might get a little stale...

My main problems were the organic seed-shooters and the nipples on the packaging. I just wish for once they'd friggin' stick to the source material. Is it really that damned hard? But noooo.... every director wants to make "his own iterpretation"....

Due to poor word of mouth, I expect the box office for this movie to be toast after its opening weekend.
