The Cake Eaters mistakes characters and story quirks for character and story development.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
I think there is a future in directing for Mary Stewart Masterson.
At the Movies
The story is so wispy that it feels only half-written; basically, nothing much happens here. Not a total washout, but it seems more like a TV movie.

Rating: 3/4 --
In her first feature film, Masterson creates a slice of life that is very believable (especially if you've ever seen The Jerry Springer Show), and often endearing.

[W]hat seems at first like a lean, spare psychic space in which much is left unspoken swells to burn white-hot.

There are only so many story threads an ensemble cast can hold.
