    This is generally considered a 'b' movie...and I kinda liked it. granted, it's got that asshole guy from "Some Kind of Wonderful" as a 'good' guy, but it's kinda sweet. A good lokking guy dating a tubby, nerdy girl. Gives us all hope. I really hated the title though...

    Starring Ricki Lake...(if you loved Hairspray, you would love BabyCakes) the story will remind you of hairspray less the musicals.
