BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Dartherer I really don't get the hype.

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

adonis98-743-186503 Just saw Cake Eaters again last night and i'm seriously laughing at all this people that brag about Kristen Stewart's acting because this movie proved most of them wrong she is amazing playing a 15 year old girl with a strange illness she changed the way she talks and she even changed the way she walks for the role without forgetting it and walking or talking normal and that for me is why i give this film a 8 out of 10 all the rest of the cast was just OK nothing really special and the characters weren't something special either. Like i said with this movie Stewart shows that she can act and do wonderful roles forget Twilight once and for all and try to see other movies with her because she's actually pretty great.

samkan Is there a genre term for the domestic, slice-of-life melodramas about ordinary people undergoing several ordinary life crisis, usually set in a small city/town and involving family members, ex-partners, love,death,and never so much resolved as ending with slices of hope? I'm not being a wise guy, just thought there may be a moniker for films like ALL THE REAL GIRLS, LONESOME JIM, TULLY, YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, etc.Anyway, I never get tired of such films when they are well thought out, scripted, acted, directed, etc. THE CAKE EATERS qualifies well for this genre and will really pull you in. I'm just amazed so many good ones like TCE get made. Kudos to Mary Stuart Masterson. But a bad title: This group is too sophisticated to qualify for Marie Antoinette's rabble.

TxMike For some reason I have always liked Mary Stuart Masterson, even though she never became a "star." But here she shows her low-key approach to directing with this small, intimate picture. I enjoyed it, sort of as a slice of life and coming of age, even for a 70-year-old.Kristen Stewart is teen Georgia, pretty and smart but with a genetic flaw which makes her a bit unsteady on her feet and sound like she is always half-drunk. Plus, she expects her heart to give out at a rather early age. She begins to wonder what life has in store for her. Part of that is wondering what sex is all about. She shares this with her grandmother.The second key character is Aaron Stanford as 20-year-old 'Beagle' Kimbrough, son of the local butcher, and a cafeteria worker at the local upstate New York school where Georgia goes. Beagle is a bit socially challenged, but pretty Georgia takes an interest in him, and at a flea market she asks if he will come over later and help her with her homework.I have been sort of a fan of Bruce Dern, but always found him to be quirky-looking, and he often got quirky roles. But here he is very normal, and good, as Easy, the butcher. His wife had died only a few weeks earlier, his older son showed up after being gone 3 years to pursue an ill-fated singing career, and the strained relationships showed among the three of them.And finally Elizabeth Ashley is Marg, the grandmother of Georgia. It is clear that she and Easy share more than just a passing friendship. SPOILERS: Georgia wants to experience sex while she still can and she picks Beagle. They ride on his scooter out to some cottages where, coincidentally, Marg and Easy had been before, many years earlier. The two of them had a long relationship going, and Easy's "coming of age" at 70 was to realize that he really wanted to marry her.

nikhil-bopanna I have been waiting for this movie from a very long time. Wait is a worthwhile, and i thoroughly enjoyed this one. Mary Stuart Masterson has captured complete concentration from the audience. You can watch this movie if your feeling low or even good.This movie is about love and relationship. If you are physically unfit, you are not going to loose out of love and its wonderfully portrayed by Kristen Stewart. Overall your heart will float in a sea of joy.Kristen Stewart is amazing, she takes a through a journey of kind bigheartedness and love. She definitely has a bright future and a long career. The storyline is perfect which contains emotions and humor.Aaron Stanford is equally good in his own way. A piece of work through which you will fell good for at least a day. Cheers!!!!
