things i didn’t like: i hated that they sexualized the 13 year old girl. not to say she wasn’t sexual just by nature of her age, but they purposefully made her into more of a sex object than they had to, especially with the shower scene – entirely unnecessary, gratuitous and teasing. i also hate that they made her have a subtle mini-pseudo-romance with her father’s 20-something male friend. i think this sends the wrong message to kids, and they know kids are hungry for this kind of info and fantasy, and as such that it sells movies – shame on the movie-makers. put it this way, if that character was a 13 year old boy, they would never dare or even consider doing the things they did with the girl character. also, i didn’t like how they “subtly” played up the sexual tension between the father and the daughter, such as having him run around in his jockey underwear – entirely unnecessary.

last gripe: much of the acting, especially in the first third of the film,… so fake! the father’s girlfriend was poor, and girl often came across as utterly unreal, and much of the dialogue was badly written. the father, jeff daniels, however, carried the show, and was strong from beginning to end.

First the positive:

It’s easy to clean- easy to use – brews a decent cup of coffee (not like a quality drip brewer though) – the controls are easy and there are tons of coffees available at a reasonable price (factoring in the convenience of the k-cups)…

Now the negative:

Due to a poorly designed pump mechanism, the noise this machine makes is truly unbelievable!!! It vibrates the whole counter and everything on it. It sounds like a DeWalt Hammer Drill, or for those potential customers who don’t know what a hammer drill sounds like… it sounds like a cheap, handheld air compressor or like the air compressor at a gas station. No exaggeration! This thing will actually dance around the counter for the few seconds it takes to load the water into the heat chamber!

I make my coffee in the morning around 5am. This vibration can literally be felt around the house and it wakes everyone up. I had to move the B40 to the garage so I wouldn’t disturb people sleeping! Keurig Engineers obviously live alone or are hard of hearing to have designed such a noisy appliance! It’s actually embarrassing to use when company is visiting and I end up using the good’ol (quiet) drip maker! We bought a Black & Decker Home Café pod machine which is similar to the B40, except it is very quiet and much smaller. It uses pods similar to the B40, but the coffee is weaker.

The other draw back is it’s size… It’s almost as large as my Rotisserie Jr. It’s also made entirely out of plastic, for $100+ dollars, I’d expect this thing to have some stainless steel on it!

I guess some(if not most) of the good review from Amazon was written by people who works at the Keurig.

Don’t believe them, I wish I believed the negative reviews before I purchase this product.
