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

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

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.

Easy is a butcher in a small New York town. He just lost his wife, and his son Beagle, who works in the cafeteria at the local high school, took care of his mother toward the end. Beagle's brother Guy, an aspiring rock musician, was in the big city and didn't get the news in time, but he has come back to be with the family.Also in the same town, Violet, who lives with mother Marg, takes tasteful topless photographs of her teenage daughter Georgia, who has a disability that makes her one of Jerry's kids and will likely lead to her death in a few years. The photos are being sold at a local fair, and that's how Beagle meets Georgia.Beagle and Georgia become friends, and she needs a tutor to help her with school. What she doesn't tell her mother and grandmother is that she wants to lose her virginity before it is too late. They also think Beagle is a teacher.Meanwhile, Guy tries, not quite successfully, to reconnect with his former girlfriend Stephanie, and argues with his father over his poor choices in life. And Easy and Marg seem to be attracted to each other.There are lots of good acting performances here. Bruce Dern gives us more than one might expect of his character, partly because of the writing. We don't really know what to expect after a while. There are plenty of surprises.Elizabeth Ashley manages to be be tough but pleasant, trying to raise her family in somewhat difficult circumstances.Kristen Stewart does a very good job. One might think she was really disabled. She is quite likable until she starts acting rebellious, and even then we can't really dislike her. She's very attractive with a minimum of makeup--the movie poster is kind of misleading. It's a shame about her beautiful hair, but in her rebellious phase, what she does actually looks good.Aaron Stanford does a very good job as well. He makes his character quite easy to like and carefully keeps what could be seen as perverted from becoming anything less than beautiful. Those who oppose certain activities outside of marriage might not be pleased, though.And a warning here for vegetarians, or even people like me who refuse to give up meat. A cute cow is shown. Easy and his sons come to visit. You know what Easy does for a living. The truth is hard to take, but we are forced to confront it. Not in a graphic way, but we know what's coming.It's a worthwhile effort.

The Cake Eaters is a cleverly-titled independent drama from 2007. Directed by Fried Green Tomatoes actress Mary Masterson, the film spent two years in purgatory before finding a distributor. It was released in 2009, presumably to accompany Kristen Stewart's ascent to stardom.It's unfortunate that we had to wait to so long. The film is an excellent evaluation of Stewart's success when picked for correct roles. Her off camera shenanigans have pointed to a tomboyish personality that Twilight's conservatism forces her to mask. I read a post on IMDb's page for New Moon in which one poster laments "Kristen doesn't portray Bella as wanting to be protected enough". I hate to argue in favor of that point, but alas, I will. The sexist gender role of Meyer's books is something Stewart isn't capable of doing successfully. All the films would be better if she were the one protecting Edward or if another person were Bella.We don't quite get that kind of tailored movie here, but it's a good example of either a director noticing someone's talent or just sheer luck. For the first time, we see Stewart take the active role in a romantic film. Her character, Georgia, is a teenager with a nerve disorder that slurs her speech and causes her to limp. She has lingering anxiety about her virginity. Life would be so much easier if she could find a boy or man for that special deflowering service.She finds a candidate while at a flea market with her mother. He's a milquetoast late twenty-something guy who happens to be her neighbor. The lad is so loyal to his family that he's earned the nickname "Beagle". He qualifies for her because he lives nearby and isn't unattractive. He even works as a cafeteria server at her high school and his father is having an affair with her grandmother.The film has a refreshingly objective view of adolescent sexuality. Beagle is violating social law by eventually sleeping with an underage girl, yet, she is the one who encourages him. She is probably at least five years younger than he yet more emotionally mature. She's willing to cut her hair and wear a sexy outfit to seduce him. He does not have to like her and maybe he doesn't. The next boy will have to do that. He is at first reluctant to indulge in the best of life's pleasures, but thankfully he does.Beagle's father has visited another woman for most of his married life and could not reconcile his shame to be with his wife while she was dying. He now sits back and watches his son do something unethical, unlawful, and moral. Neither he nor his partner has the authority to stop the relationship. Georgia's mother tries to, fails, and the elderly watch history repeat itself as their brood romance in the same motel their ancestors did so many years ago. The two young people wake up and go to school the next day. Do they love each other? I'm not able to answer. Each got what he or she wanted from the other and brought redemptive justice to his or her older relative. And the reviewer who observed the film enjoyed it. He got to see a frank film about a subject so whitewashed in traditional romantic cinema or the films of his contemporary actresses.Recommend

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!!!!
