Storyline

After eight years globetrotting as a travel writer, a family emergency puts Pippa McGee in the editor's chair at Wedding Bells, the magazine she'd be least-likely to read. She's a self-described slut who doesn't see the value of marriage much less the point of weddings and wedding magazines. For her first issue, she tries edgy and iconoclastic. Can she pull it off? Meanwhile, the gulf between herself and her father impedes her work and her personal life, and her mistrust of commitment is tested by her involvement with a photographer named Hemingway and her interactions with Ian, her father's second-in-command. Is there a Mr. Darcy for this Miss Bennett, a Benedict for this Beatrice?

User Reviews

Loved it!

Got to see a screening of CAKE. I didn't know what to expect as I had no idea what it was even about. I found myself completely enthralled. It was so funny and moving. Heather Graham looked beautiful as always. I think this is the best she's ever been in a movie that I've seen. Taye Diggs was great in it as well. All the actors were very funny in that not over the top way. Visually, I thought it was very unique for a romantic comedy. It wasn't schmaltzy and sappy and predictable like other ones. It had a unique style which I would commend the director for.

I also loved the soundtrack! The music rocked. I highly recommend catching this movie when it comes out.
