Rating: 7/10 --
Just as the main character slowly grows on people in the film, it can draw in reluctant viewers.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
The charm of Bagdad Cafe is that every character and every moment is unanticipated, obscurely motivated, of uncertain meaning and vibrating with life.

The theme song really is inescapable...strange things happen in a charmingly-plotless way.

...An adorable comic fable.....Hilarious and touching....It also offers a renewed, endearingly quirky version of America as the land of opportunity...
Los Angeles Times
...[The film] is American melting pot mythology the way Jim Jarmusch might reinvent it...
Film Comment
With the kindliest of intentions, [Percy Adlon] has parroted the racist stereotypes of the American-made culture that informed his attitudes.

Product Description:
It's just a greasy spoon and a rusty gas pump in the middle of the Mojave Desert, but to a mysterious, stranded Bavarian woman and a few mismatched regulars, the Bagdad Cafe becomes a magical piece of paradise. Academy Award Nominations: Best Song ("Calling You").
