What is the Plot of Bar Fight?
The title might make you think that the movie is probably about two rival gangs meeting at a bar and fighting each other to death, but that’s not the case. Bar Fight! follows the story of a couple, Nina and Allen, who could have once imagined a future together but are now going through a breakup. In order to try and handle it maturely, the couple is dividing all of their belongings, and it goes well…almost. They think they’re done and dusted, that they won’t have to face each other again and can move on from their lives, but that changes when both of them need a drink, and they end up at their favorite bar, at the same time.
Maybe Nina and Allen could have figured out a schedule of sorts with the bartender, but that doesn’t happen. Instead, they have a bar fight. Don’t worry, no punches will be thrown. The broken-up couple now go through a series of challenges at the bar, which will decide which of them gets to stay and continue drinking at the bar moving forward, and who will have to step back and find another bar. Chaos and madness ensue. Their best friends, the staff, the patrons, and almost everyone is involved very deeply in this challenge, but the question is, who will win?
