Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

"Cake" is just your standard romantic comedy but with a few elements better than expected, it's actually pretty good.Free-spirited Pippa (Heather Graham), a travel writer, takes a job at her dad's wedding magazine. Looks like her life is going to get put in order with men always just around the corner. The plot is tiresome, cliché, and completely predictable. But surprisingly, the dialogue is pretty good. With the right amount of clever comedy that can actually make you laugh, and sexy and romantic relationships, this romantic comedy is enjoyable.The charismatic Heather Graham makes it better than it otherwise would be, and a number of recognizable supporting actors (Taye Diggs, David Sutcliffe from "Gilmore Girls", Sarah Chalke from "Scrubs" and Sandra Oh from "Grey's Anatomy") keep you watching until their next scene."Cake" has a weak story that has been done before, but saved by witty dialogue, and charming and appealing actors, it's worth a look, especially since it's on TV frequently.

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?

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.
