Cake
Someone please explain this to me.
I saw a commercial for this Cake movie on Lifetime. It touted “for the first time on national TV” or the like. It’s a romantic comedy about a wedding magazine, or something.
Obviously my interested with piqued, because my number 1 girl crush, Sandra Oh, is in it. Along with Heather Graham, Taye Diggs, Cheryl Hines, and Oh’s Grey’s Anatomy co star Sarah Chalke.
I totally forgot about it, and caught the last 40 minutes today. And it was just as I expected a romantic, straight to video comedy would be. How exactly it got made, I just don’t know. And why all these stars got on board with some Real World director is beyond me. Can someone else explain? I guess Grey's Anatomy wasn't a show when they filmed, but honestly.
From what I understand, this was released in theaters in Israel and Canada. And for us, we get the Valentines DVD release date which promises to be at least sexy, because it has an R rating. I didn’t see anything in the last 40 minutes that could possibly be rated R. Well, except for the suggestion of Cheryl Hines performing oral sex under the table at an award ceremony. But I’m sure any romantic comedy wouldn’t get under the tablecloth with an infrared light, or anything.
And please, take advantage of Amazon’s Better Together deal, where you can buy this and Herbie for the low, low price of $39.98.
Update: Oops, It seems I can't tell my blondes on medical shows apart. It was a long week. All blondes look the same, anyway.

Sarah Chalke is on Scrubs. Was that a joke I missed or are you confusing the medical show girls inexplicably love with the medical show that is awesome and underrated?

More: That better together deal is very strange. I do wonder how those movies got paired up.
The actors probably signed on to an independent film, not a direct-to-video film. But lots of indie films are lucky to get distributed on video if not in theaters. Sounds like whatever distributor bought it was able to book it theatrically abroad but chose to go straight to DVD/Lifetime here. That is pretty common.

Taye Diggs = cool, handsome black guy from Go, and various other films and TV shows.
Cheryl Hines = Larry David's wife on Curb Your Enthusiasm and sponsor representative Sally in Herbie: Fully Loaded.
Grey's Anatomy = Popular TV show about a doctor named Meredith Grey to justify its very forced title, beloved especially by women lured by its sexy, sentimental romances with Patrick Duffy and an Ally-McBeal-esque protagonist overburdened with self-pity.
Sarah Chalke = Blonde girl doctor from Scrubs
