Cake is about finding out that however lofty your ideals maybe, you can always be wrong.This comedy, as all good Hollywood productions, starts by over doing the traits of its main character. At some point, her zealousness runs her into a wall and then the movie starts to be a bit more realistic, a bit more sensible.The story itself is simple, the plot elements unsurprising, and, even if the dialogs hold their own and are funny, they are uninventive.The big attraction of the movie is that it is entertaining, and it doesn't screw up. You'll spend a good evening if you're interested in seeing an over idealistic, over energized young woman make a mess of things and then save the day in true Hollywood fashion.

I just saw this on Lifetime and lost count of the number of rom-com formulas (formulae?) this movie employs. Where should I start? With the airhead 30-something woman who can't settle down or the requisite stereotype three friends who also can't commit or the well-to-do father who can't communicate with their daughters - I could go on and I will. There's also Heather Graham's jiggly scenes where she tracks down David Sutcliffe whilst he is out jogging. Aren't there any new ideas in Hollywood? Speaking of Heather Graham, she's listed as Executive Producer. I think that is because she inserted a bunch of irrelevant-to-the-plot references to her thoracic assets at various places, along with the aforementioned jiggles. Maybe she wanted to prove she has behind-the-scenes talents but all they proved was that she can't come up with a new idea either.The final in dignity was that this turkey was made in Canada so it had to be shown on Canadian TV to meet the CanCon regulations. CanCon is probably why Sandra Oh was forced to debase her talents.Overall evaluation: I've seen better entertainment in high school auditoriums.

I'm not proud to say I just watched this awful piece of crap. I'm a lazy person, thats why i didn't turn it off. The plot is a copy of what you have seen all to many times, it's so predictable it could make a swiss watch jealous. The acting is nothing special, verging on overacting in some places. A lot of the situations in the movie are completely non-believable, the characters do not develop, and if there even was an attempt to make characters that can be related to, it failed.To say something positive, the pace of the movie is OK so if you are forced to watch it or you put it on by accident, know that it will actually end. Bottom line is there's not a single memorable moment in this film, but if you hate yourself and feel like some mortification of the mind is in order then go ahead and rent it

I've been a fan of Nisha Ganatra's since Chutney Popcorn and have been eagerly awaiting her latest film, so I was really glad to get the opportunity to see a screening of Cake. While romantic comedy isn't exactly my favorite genre, I really enjoyed this one. Sometimes a lighthearted, well paced, fun film is just what you need for a little pick me up and Cake is that kind of a film. It was well directed and the whole cast was great. Heather Graham and Taye Diggs were wonderful, but Sandra Oh as Lulu was my favorite. They all had me laughing out loud. This was a really fun and enjoyable film. I've already recommended it to friends; when will it be in a theater near me?
