Everything seems to be going well for life-long friends-turned-petty pot peddlers Kash (Archie Howard II), Shane (Chung), and Bones (Ben Baller) until their trusted drive is busted during a routine run to Ohio, and when the naïve dealers try to recoup their losses by selling cocaine, they quickly realize that they've gotten in over their heads. With no one to trust and the Mexican mafia hot on their trail, Kash is soon thrown in jail and Shane and Bones left to fend for themselves as the hired guns close in. When survival instinct pits friend against friend, loyalties are tested and bonds broken for three friends who thought they had it all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Tony Wong, Toronto Star
Cake is under-baked and underwhelming.
-
Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail
Cake's moments of charm and the cast's good cheer compensate for the thinness of the material.
-
Angela Baldassarre, Sympatico.ca
As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. In this case, don't let the star names fool you.

Liz Braun, Jam! Movies
There are several laugh-out-loud moments in the adult romantic comedy Cake, a film with the magical ability to -- poof! -- leave your head the second it leaves the screen.
