A travel writer improves her love life when she becomes an editor for her father's wedding magazine.

Pippa McGee (Heather Graham) is a globe-trotting travel writer. She comes home to be her friend Jane's bridesmaid along with best friend Lulu (Sandra Oh). When her father has a heart attack, she has to take over his magazine Wedding Bells. It's the last magazine she's likely to read and she dismisses marriage. She has a love triangle with photographer Hemingway Jones (Taye Diggs) and her father's right hand man Ian Grey (David Sutcliffe).This feels and looks more like a TV movie. The bridal magazine world looks unreal. Heather Graham is not good rom-com material. She's flailing around in this movie. None of it is funny. The romantic chemistry isn't there. This is the most disappointing because these are really beautiful human specimens. This is a traditional rom-com done poorly.

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.

Dear oh dear, its hard to accept that drivel like this can actually made into a film. I guess there will always be people who like completely predictable and boring romantic comedies such as this one. Heather Graham's acting is at times laughable and I think she only gets by in the business due to her beauty. Comedies such as Notting Hill,Wedding crashers, about a boy, sliding doors or the break up are examples of where a rom com can work by trying something a little different to attempt to surprise a viewer but films such as this should not be made. Oh well, maybe Hollywood will learn someday!!!! Im not sure why i watched this film as ratings were pretty low and it certainly didn't appeal to me but i always like to give a film a chance to respond to its critics and its always good to see it for yourself and then make a judgement. HOwever in this case I would have to say do not bother with this poor attempt at a romantic comedy.

I am a very big fan of Nisha Ganatra! Each one of her films have been brilliant...from Chutney Popcorn to Cosmopolitan...Nisha has given the audience a fresh look at making movies! I absolutely love her style of directing! Cake, not only has an amazing script, but Nisha did such a great job capturing all the nuances of it! I loved the story and I feel that it was very well played out. Each actor brought something fantastic to their character and to the story. It is great to see the ensemble come together and really play off of one another. This is something that everyone, in way or another, can relate too! Overall, a seriously great movie and another fantastic success for Nisha!
