chloe west I thought it was super cute, and an excellent movie. I can't wait until I get my next ($60, ugh) paycheck so I can buy it! SORRY, TOTAL SPOILER DON'T READ THE REST IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE.I would most definitely recommend this movie. It was so good. It was an adorable love story between two people who meet randomly and eventually fall in love and but the other one doesn't realize it.Ian was in love with her from the beginning but Pippa didn't fall in love until she thought it was too late.I really honestly thought this movie was just amazing and just such a great love story.I can't wait to buy it and watch it again. My absolute favorite quote is in this too.Pippa: You don't even know me! Ian: I don't know you? I know you don't get along with your father. I know that you miss your mother. I know what you look like when you kiss. and I know that you never date someone that matters to you. Pippa: You think you matter to me?Or something like that. I couldn't remember exactly and I was so very upset that this site didn't have quotes for this movie.But yeah I have that quote on my myspace and everything!Haha I love this movie. Everyone should totally watch it.
herbqedi ** WARNING -- SPOILERS CONTAINED WITHIN ** The plots contained within the inexplicably named "Cake" seem forced and very contrived. However, the relationships and characters make this romantic comedy an enjoyable enough way to spend an hour and a half. The hoary chestnut of a plot has pseudo-feminist Graham, committed to never making commitments, awkwardly fulfilling her obligations as a bridesmaid to friend Sarah Chalke, before winding us, at her father's behest, taking the helm of a bridal magazine after the old man suffers a heart attack. Sandra Oh, Taye Diggs, Cheryl Hines, and Sarah Chalke all supply superior comedic support with their character roles. I wasn't familiar with the young actor playing Graham's main stereotyped gay assistant at the magazine, but he is very good, making me enjoy him and care about him despite his stereotypic roots.Heather Graham seems to be imitating Kate Hudson throughout, but she makes an agreeable-enough substitute. Bruce Gray is monotonously one-note as the father. I also would've much rather seen her wind up with much more interesting Diggs than cookie-cutter leading man Sutcliffe, but the film wasn't made for taking those types of risks. And Sutcliffe has a nice-enough smile that you can't really begrudge him his happy ending too much. Conclusion, if you have an hour and a half to kill and want to watch a harmless romantic comedy, Cake will more than adequately satiate you.
zoodle328 Although I wouldn't vote this movie as Oscar worthy, I do think that because it's a chick-flick, it receives a bad rap. Pippa, a headstrong travel-writer is a sweet ingénue, and Heather Graham does a very good job of displaying Pippa's weaknesses and confusion. While yes, this movie does have a plot centralized around a wedding magazine, it also shows a slight sophistication with it's talk of gay marriage, and it's final climax has substance. And let's not forget David Sutcliffe as Ian...talk about beautiful. And in one special scene, the chemistry between Pippa and Ian is charge! Don't discount this movie because of it's cutesy title and seemingly silly plot. I guarantee a fun time while watching Cake!
lisamaria This movie was so boring I didn't know if I should cry or sleep.The idea of an independent single girl took no wind at any point as this girl simply gave in to everything and everyone, instead of showing any of spunk and spirit she was supposed to have. I am not entirely sure what the message here was supposed to be - happiness lies in meringue wedding? The originality of the side-characters was expressed through their "weird" appearances. The "baddie" was a wedding-crazed spinster. The conflict? - non-existing. The characters didn't grow or learn, they simply gave in in front of the convention.Uninspiring, and I'm afraid, very very American in its blind idolisation of the white-wedding bliss.
