I Like Killing Flies

I Like Killing Flies

Despite the title and this disturbing image it is not a violent movie at all. Perhaps slightly verbally violent but its all in New York esque affection (?).

Plot:

Is about a man in his best age who runs a successful familyrestaurant in New York.

Review:

Kenny Shopsin, an overweight and garish little chef who loves conflict, white headbands and killing flies more than anything else, is at the epicenter of this story. His family is a part of all this and gets to put up with alot but Kenny is quite the likeable individual so he has that going for him. One could describe him as a "free-spirit" although im sure he wouldn't really approve of that label. 

He runs one of those restaurants that almost exclusively have regulars and the interior consist of strange paintings and odd homemade recipies placed all over the walls. One could describe the whole code of conduct here at the restaurant as a bit unorthodox. The fact that not everyone can sit down on the worn old black chair and order a deep fried "macaroni and cheese"-pancake of course add to the mystique.

Kenny throws quite the look on the newly arrived guests proceeds to poke them with a spatula and then decide their fate before he runs to the kitchen. He is tough but always fair and is just following his motto: "Everything tastes better fried," "The customer is almost always wrong" and "It never pays to be nice". Having had the restaurant at the same place for a very long time he ends up having to move due to the rents being raised to an intolerable level. The question now is how everything will turn out since the local was quite a big part of the whole one man ( almost) show that is Kenny Shopsins restaurant.

If you imagine the typical middle aged, cranky, loud and cursing at everyone-and-everything New yorker times two running a restaurant then this is he.
