Although I wouldn't vote this movie as Oscar worthy, I do think that because it's a chick-flick, it receives a bad rap. Pippa, a headstrong travel-writer is a sweet ingénue, and Heather Graham does a very good job of displaying Pippa's weaknesses and confusion. While yes, this movie does have a plot centralized around a wedding magazine, it also shows a slight sophistication with it's talk of gay marriage, and it's final climax has substance. And let's not forget David Sutcliffe as Ian...talk about beautiful. And in one special scene, the chemistry between Pippa and Ian is charge! Don't discount this movie because of it's cutesy title and seemingly silly plot. I guarantee a fun time while watching Cake!
