Review of Cake (2014)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Jan 2015

What makes Aniston, of all actresses, especially right for Cake is that her comedy has always had a certain ruefulness underlying it, an understanding…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Jan 2015

I wish the movie were messier, more surprising…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 22 Jan 2015

There’s no doubt that Aniston deserves more roles like this one but, with luck, in less maudlin, more surprising movies…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Connie Ogle (690) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 22 Jan 2015

There are some who may lament Aniston’s choice to step out of her comfortable comedy shoes and little black dresses, but the decision was…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Mike Mcgranaghan (1,821) for Aisle Seat (1,783) on 22 Jan 2015

Cake is an odd duck…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Jenni Miller (82) for AV Club (2,778) on 22 Jan 2015

Director Daniel Barnz, who also made the unbearably earnest Won’t Back Down, never wavers in his more-is-more conviction…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Joe Neumaier (1,294) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 22 Jan 2015

Aniston is fine, and sometimes good even, in director Daniel Barnz’s maudlin and overly obvious drama…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 22 Jan 2015

A listless indie drama that never goes much of anywhere, with moments that are framed as revelatory but contain little in the way of revelation…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 22 Jan 2015

True, Aniston does maybe her best film work to date in Cake. But it’s definitely not her best film…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for The New York Times (9,847) on 22 Jan 2015

It’s the sort of well-intentioned independent effort that can make criticism feel like overkill…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 21 Jan 2015

Feels like a series of pulled punches, with director Daniel Barnz trying desperately to keep his feature approachable despite a devastating…

Review of Cake (2014)

By William Goss (413) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 21 Jan 2015

At the end of the day, Cake at least stands better as a showcase for the potential dramatic chops of the once and future Rachel Green than…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 21 Jan 2015

Aniston gives the character personality and heft, but the script gives the character nothing to do…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for New York Post (6,650) on 21 Jan 2015

Gunning for the near-annual Ugly Makeup Oscar, Aniston proves, as always, a modestly gifted actress, only this time with scars and weedy hair…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Melissa Maerz (13) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 21 Jan 2015

Aniston works so hard to avoid sentimentality that it's disappointing when it creeps into the film…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Joanna Langfield (398) for The Movie Minute (398) on 21 Jan 2015

Is it truly such a surprise Jennifer Aniston is as good as she is in this otherwise modest drama…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 21 Jan 2015

If you can't see where this is going, you've probably never seen a movie before…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Doris Toumarkine (464) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 21 Jan 2015

Awash in pills, wind chimes and ugly vibes, the film has a ton of producers credited, suggesting too many cooks might have spoiled this Cake…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Tribune News Service (1,102) on 21 Jan 2015

A comedy that barely flirts with funny and a grim weeper that never quite raises a tear, Cake has one thing going for it — Jennifer Aniston…

Review of Cake (2014)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for Observer (1,042) on 21 Jan 2015
