\"Cake<\/a>

Pippa Mcgee (Heather Graham<\/a>) is a beautiful, free-spirited, fun-loving and committed-phobic girl. She makes a living as a freelance travel writer and loves her fun and responsibility free life. She absolutely hates the pink bridesmaid dress she has to wear. She doesn\u2019t enjoy weddings either. And it is at this wedding that she meets a handsome stranger, Ian (David Sutcliffe). But to her surprise and disappointed, this cute and witty guy doesn\u2019t really want to make out with a drunk girl who won\u2019t really remember anything in the morning. Trust Pippa to find the one decent and old-fashioned guy around.<\/p>\n

Bu?t Pippa\u2019s carefree life takes a blow when her father Malcolm (Bruce Gray) has a heart-attack. Since he has to rest for a long while, he leaves it to Pippa to run his bridal magazine. Pippa involuntarily agrees and tries to adjust to the idea that she will have to be tuned in on anything bridal. But she is in for a surprise, when that handsome stranger- Ian- turns out to be a trusted employee of her father and he is willing to stick around and help her out. Pippa now has to deal with faltering sales, men who want to take over the magazine, her romance with the handsome photographer Hemingway Jones (Taye Tiggs) and her hard to define attraction for Ian\u2026<\/p>\n

Cake is a fun romantic comedy that has two potential romances going for it. Pippa first meets David Sutcliffe\u2019s Ian and then Taye Diggs\u2019 Hemingway. But it is pretty apparent she has a lot in common with Hemingway, so he starts dating him. But then again maybe opposites do attract and she and Ian are not exactly opposites after all. Of course you can guess who she will end up with. Of course you know things will work out for Pippa one way or the other. The reason to watch romcoms- especially the conventional ones- is just to see how the ride goes, not how it ends. That being said, this is a romantic comedy for girls. Yes, a guy who is a fan of the genre can enjoy it and Heather Graham is gorgeous. But other than that, I can honestly say most guys won\u2019t really enjoy the plot.<\/p>\n

Sandra Oh co-stars as Pippa\u2019s best friend and it is refreshing to see her in a role other than Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/a>\u2019s Christina.<\/p>\n

Written by Tassie Cameron and directed by Nisha Ganatra. Ignore the imdb rating if you like a decent romcom. It is 4.8 I\u2019ll give it a 6, minimum.<\/p>\n
