Cupcakes Ratings & Reviews
Bay Area Reporter
David Lamble
...a blockbuster slice of pop treacle...
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Though the comic confection's clunky moments keep it from achieving souffl delicacy, its bright zingers and seamless fantasy sequences amp the playfulness, and the mostly unforced performances complement the production's cartoonish exuberance.
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
Comic froth makes a few gentle jabs, but feels more like same triumph of be-true-to-thyself mantra of "Glee" with predictable romance and similar family conflict resolutions.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Cupcakes is as colorfully splashy as anything in early Almodóvar, but even more cartoonish, and more than a little bland.
New York Times
Andy Webster
This candy-coated confection is so irresistible that you're captivated by its sentiment even as you acknowledge its manipulations.
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
If this Semitic "Strictly Ballroom" and its campy, colorful characters (including a hummus baron!) don't win you over, you may want to check your pulse.
The Dissolve
Andrew Lapin
Cupcakes finds a measured tone and cleverly juxtaposes creative expression with corporatized kitsch.
Village Voice
Serena Donadoni
Fox infuses Cupcakes with Ofer's can-do optimism, where the power of song can overcome any personal or professional strife.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
Eytan Fox opts for a thoroughly hollow rumination on pop-culture mechanics as they pertain to young, aspiring professionals.
Playback:stl
Sarah Boslaugh
...a frothy comedy that would not seem out of place on an MGM soundstage of some 70 years ago.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
The story soon gives way to characters kvetching about romance and the working world, their sentiments recycled from the director's other movies.
CultureCatch
Brandon Judell
The whole schmear is predictable, the dialogue is uninspired, and the direction slapdash, yet you wind up feeling cheery the way only silly films with happy endings can make you feel.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Israeli helmer Eytan Fox's candy-colored musical is an endearingly goofy celebration of the right to be yourself.
Contactmusic.com
Rich Cline
Eurovison fans will find this Israeli comedy to be sheer cinematic joy. Not only is it a hilariously astute satire of the music competition, but it's also packed with deeper political meaning.
Movie Dearest
Fr. Chris Carpenter
Easily director Eytan Fox's lightest and most purely enjoyable film to date. Sure, its lightweight but its also good to see Fox take a break from heavier fare.
