Movie Reviews of Babycakes
Movie Review: Possibly the Best, but Corniest Love Story Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
Grace is a Mortuary Makeup Artist with a heart of gold. Grace is also lonely and overweight. Everyone keeps telling her how good she would look if she would just loose weight and how she'll never get a boyfriend if she doesn't lose weight. Grace has one friend, Carrie, who has a dismal outlook on life despite her high intelligence. Grace and Carrie notice a handsome, fit, movie star looking ice skater one night. Grace decides he is the man for her and sets out on a 3 week course over Christmas to catch him.
Grace and Rob fall in love, dispite their obvious physical differences. Grace shows amazing dedication to Rob, but in the process manages to hurt Carrie. Another aspect of this movie is Rob's "bunny" girlfriend Olivia, who is currently out of town, allowing Grace her chance at Rob.
All goes haywire when Olivia returns to town to find Rob not home, not at work and not ice skating. Carrie lets it slip that Rob is with Grace at a new year's eve party. When Olivia finds them, she manages to tear Grace down and do nothing to Rob, since it is always the woman's fault.
You see Grace return to her job and life after Rob. The sad thing is that she returns to sad Grace. But she decides that she is ready for some "live action". Grace decides to go on without Rob. She is heading off into her new life when Rob sees her, happy and on her own and decides that he does truly love Grace and declares it to everyone and Grace on the subway.
This is a cute love story. There is minimal cussing, but there is the aspect that Grace and Rob are carrying on an affair. But to show that love has no boundaries despite physical appearances is great! I truly loved this movie!
