"Can She Bake a Cherry Pie?", the story of two lonely misfits in the big city, is charming yet flaky. Unfortunately, the flake outdoes the charm. It is kind of cute to see these two people who can't make connections with other people attempt to make a connection with each other. I suppose it is very true to life in this sense, but it is not very cinematic. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing. At any rate, Karen Black is one of my favorite actresses, and she does uncertainty and neurosis pretty well here. Plus, she has the most amazingly expressive, lovely, evocative singing voice. It is breathtaking in my estimation... She should record gospel music. I think when Karen sings, it is more moving than even Grace Slick. Highest compliment possible.
