Sitting in Bars with Cake
Jane & Corinne are BFFs. Jane is awkwardly shy & conservative, but is a talented baker. Corinne is a fun loving carefree extrovert who wants to help break Jane break out of her shell. She convinces Jane to create a different specialty cake for their weekly bar visits. This is the “boy bait with sugar” so Jane can meet & converse with single men. This is lots of fun but Corinne suddenly develops a serious health issue that puts a damper on their exciting LA watering holes tour & troll for men. This film about female relationships, parent/child relationships, & discovering your true inner self is a fun & emotional ride (tissues may be necessary). This may be a good girls night out movie. It’s also based on a true story. Bette Midler has a small supporting role. The actual people portrayed are mentioned at the film’s end.
Alien gives it 3 “barcaking” stars out of 4.
