Movie #343 "The Cake Eaters" is a pretty flat film, even with Mary Stuart Masterson's debut at the helm, and Kristin Stewart playing a character with a neurological disease. It is her show, her rite of passage, having a boyfriend she falls in love with. Meanwhile there's another story with a continued romance between two oldies, Bruce Dern and Liz Ashley. Ironically, he is mourning the loss of his wife, but he had this woman on the side for years...........then there's one more story, but to tell you the truth, I was typing on the computer and not paying much mind to any of this. This film struck out with me --- I really didn't care about the characters or what happened to them in the film (which wasn't much). I think it was trying to be "What's eating Gilbert Grape" but ohmygod, it wasn't. That film is SO MUCH BETTER!!!!
