This film, Movie #1028 ....."Cake," is truly a tour de force for Jennifer Aniston, esp. if you think she can only do what she did on "Friends." Here, she must be in pain through the entire film, while also going through other ups and downs in dealing with a friend's suicide and the grief for a loved one. You get to see another side of the very fine actress Anna Kendrick, too, in this film, since she plays the suicidal friend. If you ever wanted to know what entails chronic back pain every minute of the day, this is the film to see. I only gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because of how uncomfortable it is in the viewing, but I'm here to tell you it is well worth the effort.

Saddled with chronic pain, Claire Simmons has kept a sense of humor, even if it's of the acidic, angry variety. Upset but gripped by curiosity when a member of her support group kills herself, Claire decides to excavate the truths behind the suicide.
