That was an excellent one.

Just perfect...

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This isn't a flashy movie, but it is a nice simple, beautifully photographed, well crafted film. The characters are true to themselves and it was a pleasure to watch. For some reason, I really liked it. It also has a great soundtrack that works well with the overall poetic feeling of the movie. A very impressive directing debut for Mary Stuart Masterson. Although I'd like to see her in front of the camera, MSM does a great job behind the camera on this film. Kristin Stewart is completely believable as the disabled Georgia, and treats her character honestly and forthrightly with a subtle dignity, and it was a joy to watch her act. Bruce Dern and Elizabeth Ashley also do their jobs well and are completely believable.

I watched the Cake Eaters a few weeks ago and flipped through it the other day once more in hopes of finding something that I missed. I was glad that I did, because there are little things in this film that really make the difference. To be honest, what drew me into 'the Cake Eaters' was the fact that Kristen Stewart was in it. I saw 'Twilight' and I was not impressed, but I did not want to be too harsh on the girl, so I gave her another chance and I was not disappointed. Kristen plays her character wonderfully. She is both strong and weak while being a young girl who just wants to grow up and experience life while dealing with a disease that is slowly taking her life. Not to mention a mother who is out to become famous on her daughter's disease, instead of enabling her daughter to experience what life she can, while she can. Thank God, there is her grandmother who brings the necessary heart and often comedic elements needed to keep the film moving. Kristen is believable from the first shot and the last was heartfelt and made me smile. There are flaws here, no doubt, when looking at the individual stories it is your typical small town, cliché plot occurrences and obvious character realizations. Though I feel that I have seen this type of story many times, in different arenas it is still well worth the watch and I enjoyed it for what it was.'The Cake Eaters' was a good film, with a familiar recipe, but Kristen Stewart makes it sweet.

It wasn't awful, just not good. I watched it all the way through. But the real reason I watched it was the great reviews and because of the plot synopsis stated here in IMDb. I was definitely expecting MORE of this movie but in the end was somewhat disappointed. This is what i got from the movie. It was sweet, lighthearted and was meant as a feel good movie. Set in a small, silent rural town were there's a lot of mediocre acting to be appreciated. The story goes on based on two families whose paths are intertwined by love or perhaps, their interpretation of it. Kristen Stewart, playing "Georgia" the main character in this movie, may win your compassion or sympathy because of her illness (Friedreich's Ataxia), but the acting, end of the line, is only OK, (although I can't say she didn't try). It gets tiresome. While being overprotected by her family, specially a bad acting mother, she meets this young man, Beagle who wakes her sexual curiosity after the excuse that she is "terminally" ill. She confesses her desire to her hair dresser. Beagle's mom had recently passed away while his dad (Easy) had been having a secret love affair with Georgia's grandmother for many many years now. I am convinced the movie's flaws are a faulty in direction, then again playing a diseased character is not easy to pull of either but the other characters are worse, so... Also, I imagine many of the great reviews has to do with the recent Twilight movie, were Kristen Stewart also stars and this has won her many fans. I dare to emphasize direction could have been a lot better. There are way too many scenes with meaningless silence which took me to a state of desperation. The movie could have been reduced to 1hr if the silence patches (trying to create ineffective suspense) were cut out. End of the line The movie is sweet but the characters could have been better developed and also the plot. As for the title of the movie "The Cake Eaters" its metaphor doesn't do the movie justice, it seems as if there's going to be a little action or comedy perhaps that is totally missing. For real,it HAD potential, oh well! I wouldn't recommend buying the movie nor its rental. You can wait till its out in TV and then maybe give it a watch!!!

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!!!!
