In 2013, Audrey Shulman decided to take 50 cakes to bars around Los Angeles in hopes of finding a boyfriend. In the middle of the project, her best friend Chrissy was diagnosed with brain cancer. Chrissy insisted they continue "cakebarring" throughout her treatment, convinced it would lead to something.
👆🏻This is the post script of the film. It’s also literally the plot of the film. Thought that was an odd choice. Odd that they changed the character’s names also. The film itself has all the hallmarks of a Hallmark movie. Heartwarming true story, low budget, with a sort of glossy finish. Was fully expecting this to be a tear jerker, but I ended up making it through dry eyed. This came off as a rather flat experience for my taste, but it’s a reasonably well executed film. My mom will probably enjoy it.
