Movie Reviews of Cheesecake (2008)
Movie Review: The Good Son meets Misery
Summary: 5 Stars
This brilliant, chilling tale features no Hollywood ending and a strange plot that can only be made outside of the mainstream circle of indie producers. This complex storyline begins with a cheesy look at a commercial about cheesecake. As the camera pans across a brightly lit, cheery set we see three smiling faces eating cheesecake - apparently a family, who really like cheesecake! Russian born Pavel Melenchuk stars as Alyosha, a boy from a 'questionable' family who was one of the stars in the commercial. It seems as if Alyosha took the commercial a little too seriously and now that it is over, wants to relive it - for real this time. How seriously can you take a commercial about cheesecake? Well, Alyosha gets a little too close to his male co-star, Mikhail, a man who's real job is as a doctor. Alyosha, who has no father and whose mother is an alcoholic, appears on Mikhail's doorstep one evening looking for a place to sleep. Alyosha, who looks a little 'different' than when he was in the commercial, is rudely turned away by Mikhail, but it doesn't take Mikhail too long to have a change of heart and take the boy in - just for one night.
Mikhail awakens the next morning to find Alyosha gone, his bedding neatly folded, the dishes washed and the kitchen spotless. Soon enough Alyosha finds his way back into Mikhail's life and the man begins to come out of his shell, taking in the boy and treating him like a son. That is when everyone's life begins to change, one by one - whether they like it or not. Creepy is certainly a way to describe this movie. Think of the evil in The Good Son meets the obsession in Misery and you have the plotline of Cheesecake.
Summary of Cheesecake (2008)
Some time ago three total strangers participated in a cheesecake commercial. A mother, a father and a son were simply having tea at a dinner table, but for the boy from a dysfunctional family the shot where they were eating a cake together became an obsession; he dreams about another "family" gathering at the same table. Alyosha does not care that his "mom", Natalia, has been married for a long time, and that his "dad", Mikhail, has a girlfriend. He is ready for the most horrible actions in order to get himself parents that he wants.
