The main character is painfully annoying. He doesn't like weed, but enjoys popping random pills like candy. He has an awkward and unfunny sense of humor. I didn't laugh at all watching this movie and I love comedies. The most unrealistic part was him dating a very attractive girl, which would never happen in real life. The guy is so scrawny and whines all the time. He looks like a high school kid, not a grown man. Maybe they couldn't afford a better actor.

Annoying Main Character
Solid passable drama
Baked in Brooklyn is a solid film which is slightly more so a drama and romance film than it is a stoner or comedy film. The humor is relatively low string and not laugh out loud funny or anything too clever in gags.
The lead character is the typical fast talking, smart nerd type. Sort of like the typical Jesse Eisenberg character. Alexandra Daddario plays his girlfriend and seemingly falls for him because she found him sort of funny and was nice. He seemed to fall for her because of her looks and the fact that she was even giving him the time of day. Somewhat shallow in a sense but she did seem relatively nice in personality.
Her character is essentially underused in that we don't get to know much about her, and as the film progresses we start to wonder why she even likes him and stayed with him. As his business started getting better, it meant he spent less time with her, and we could see that the end was coming. Of course in the end he messed up by missing their planned date, ultimately leading her breaking up with him then moving away.
The story although was predictable isn't too bad and seem like it could have been better given better writing and perhaps more intrigued. Ultimately the film is better than initially expected and isn't too long, which is passable for an afternoon watch.
Choosing something else over a most beautiful woman.
A much better film than I thought. Looks more like a television film, mainly because of the cast, except hottie Daddario. Yeah, I was interested in this because of none other than her, otherwise a skippable film. But the story was good. Not the greatest one, though for this kind of production, it fared well. And I think you should expect similarly to get a better experience out of it.
This is the story of a geek who has a decent life with a well paid job. It is until a girl enters his life, which changes forever. He discovers the alternate way to cope with what he'd lost recently. And his romantic life going to be doomed even before getting it started with a most beautiful woman he had ever dreamed of. So what comes further explains his future from all the aspects of his life.
I thought it would be a bakery related theme as I misread the title. Sometimes that's good, because to overtake over expectations. Good performances by all the cast, but like I said Alexandra Daddario could be the reason for many like me to have a peek on this film and it is worth apart from that case. You might see it rated average, but I think it is much better than that if you are honest with your experience of watching it. Surely once watchable film.
