THEY PUT THE CAKE BY ITSELF IN THE BACK OF A VAN LIKE A KIDNAPPED CHILD.
Even kidnapped children get strapped down, covered up and held tight in the back of a van. Not this cake though. Poor thing. It didn't even get a tupperware lid or a box to go in. It didnt even get something to lean on 🎂🚐😱 but guess what. Like magic, the cake was perfectly fine. Now it would have been hilarious and great for a plot (and bloody realistic) if the cake was ruined, right? Nope.
I watch Bridezillas. The cake is a major item when it comes to drama. For reasons like transporting, cost, size...? But they transport the cakes secured, or set it up at the venue; the cakes do come in tiers... Now if it's those obnoxious huge sand castle looking cakes then that might be another story with tiers and building at the venue. But transport is still secure. But this was a simple four tier cake here and the width of an average human and the weight of maybe a one year old. You could have held it in your lap. Not left it in a huge empty white van trunk by itself. What an off putting flaw. I can't get passed it. Folks, this was five minutes in. Shame.
I also have seen this plot before. A big bad real estate developer wants to build in an artsy or green space. Another film called True Love Blooms had this antagony. Awesome film about a developer wanting to build luxury condos in a garden! How important is that message!! From gentrification, to even imperialism, to quite simply an environmentalist wanting a community garden in an urbanized place. That film came with flaws (annoyingly gleeful actress, unattractive beau, no sexual chemistry) but it's a way better story in the same situation as these guys. The streaming site I'm watching Love on the Rise on is buffering and I take it as a sign. I will skip this.
