Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Ilona Z I can't help but wonder why a fairly good actor has to be in such an awful film. Maybe the producers thought that it would lift the movie to a higher level or something. In my opinion, Taye Diggs is brought down a level or two.I've seen him in much better movies (like Equilibrium, for example - he was GOOD in that one. Really). Heather Graham, on the other hand, I really haven't. Know what to expect - pretty darling Heather in sexy outfits parading across the screen while there is no sign of any talent. Ever. I won't even bother discussing the storyline, it's something you've seen before, only probably better. Notting Hill, Bridget Jones' Diary, need I say more?I found this film in a 40-DVD-box together with many other low-rated movies, but it was cheap, so I don't really care. I rate this film a 2 out of 10, because it's nice to watch if you are completely bored out of your mind and have absolutely nothing else to do. But then again, for such occasions there are still better movies to watch.
Finches_Wings It definitely does not deserve all the low ratings. Take it for what it is and it's a very pleasant, well-written, well-developed and also very well-casted movie. Weird, but good natured and likable characters appear throughout. The plots turns a couple of times, revealing more about characters as we go on. Yes from one point of view it could be seen as sappy or cheesy, all the stereotypical elements are all there. Its character was rather unique, though, there was something fresh about it that made the film as a whole very likable. The leads were very good and convincing. Heather Graham and David Sutclife did a very satisfying job at portraying their characters and they should get more exposure in different films. Supporting cast were pretty nice too.In short, an enjoyable flick for a wintry evening, especially when you want nothing else but to sit back and relax watching harmless and good-natured piece of entertainment.
frederickalan1 I was skeptical at the screening of Cake (not my kind of movie, generally) but was pleasantly surprised. Smarter, funnier and sharper than most of the romantic comedies I've seen. Heather Graham gave her best performance since Rollergirl, and Cheryl Hines and Sandra Oh were great--why aren't they in everything? The movie works as a light romantic comedy (the setting--at a bridal magazine--puts us firmly in that genre), but has more substance than the genre generally allows (or even needs...). The characters all felt real--as if they were dealing with actual real-life concerns, but were just more attractive and better dressed than normal people. Moments that would have been lost in the hands of a less skilled and attentive director (Heather Graham running, falling to the ground and muttering that her boobs hurt, Cheryl Hines trying to get sit on a waterbed with a full martini glass complaining it was like cirque de soleil) were priceless. Good fun, great acting, exciting director to watch.
stefanie-ring 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!
