    8MurderousCake

    Light on pathos, heavy on humour

    The biggest negative is that the film is primarily a study of 'Portland' types and other Portlanders will recognize and possibly sneer at themselves and their friends/neighbors, but it's difficult to know what they'd make of it in where I live. My Dad wasn't too into it seeing as how it involves American twenty-something characters in the midst of "drug days" and bleak moments, but it cracked me up. Some might say the film seems merely to be a showcase to display the worst elements of human behavior, but it just feels like real life. The actors don't seem to be acting and it makes a statement about sad saps, working stiffs and just the realities of life for the young cursed working class of the US. I like the editing, especially the horrendous karaoke performance (the post-performance soliloquy was hilarious). As an "evil" woman, Jill Crissman really takes the cake. Things are so screwed up in America these days it's almost laughable to me.
