Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Tahhh I saw this remake of "Zuckerbaby" only after I was well-acquainted with the excellent German film, and so I really have no way of rating it in its OWN right.However, I was thoroughly horrified with how trite and childish the remake is, compared to the original film. It is similar to my feelings about the remake of "La cage aux folles," in that all the charm of the original film has been lost.My chief objection to it is that the adult nature of the film, its serious, somewhat dark, ambiguous tone--at times hilariously funny, at times moving and quiet, and at times despairing of human loneliness and isolation--all gets lost, and the remake feels like a room that is heavily scented with some horrid, artificial "air freshener." One feels advocacy groups rallying outside the windows, politically correct sentiments, and committees approving of everything in the remake.I strongly recommend that, if you have NOT seen this film, you make an effort to get the German film "Zuckerbaby" instead, put up with the subtitles, and enjoy a wonderful, grown-up film on a grown-up subject, and leave this horrid remake aside.

Anya1976 This is one of my fave TV movies. I saw it when i was young and loved it because it does tell people to not judge a book by it's cover.I am older and still love this movie. I got this DVD as a present from a friend and i almost cried because he knew how much i loved this movie. It's a story of a "fat" girl who does what everyone thinks she can't. Get a hot guy. She proves them all wrong. She can and WILL get the guy. And she does. I think more people need to look on the inside of people rather than outer appearances. Looks will fade but a beautiful soul never does. And like this movie that message will stand the test of time.

Michael O'Keefe No great shakes, but a real nice light romantic comedy. Paul Schneider directs this off beat story of an overly plump cosmetician(Ricki Lake) falling in love with a solidly built subway conductor(Craig Sheffer) who happens to already be spoken for. He is more than willing to spend part of the Christmas season with her while his fiancee is out of town. Are his feelings for real or just pity? There is that little something about this movie that makes you take inventory of your own insecurity and doubts.

George Mussman (GEM-20) "Babycakes" is the story of a girl who thought she was an ugly-duckling, and wants to get the most handsome guy she has ever seen (Craig Sheffer, a few years before "A River Runs Through It"). At first put off by her weight, he learns to like her and finds that there is more to her than simply girth.Ricki Lake is very appealing in this movie. Sure, she was fat, but that only adds to her appeal. I thought she was very attractive in "Babycakes" and this film certainly adds to the message that big women are desirable people too.Seeing her now only makes me wish she looked like she did in "Babycakes".I recommend this small movie, especially if you are a romantic.
