The Birthday Cake

I decided to watch this movie because Penn Badgley. The movie was about a boy name Gio attending a celebration for his fathers 10th death anniversary at Mob boss Angelo house and he was responsible for bringing the yearly traditional cake his mother makes. On the other hand, his cousin Leo had everyone in the neighborhood looking for him because he got caught by the feds transporting drugs and world on the streets he was a rat. In my opinion, we needed more of a back story to why Gio's father was killed and what was the purpose behind Sophia killing the mob family ..

Fans of mafia movies will like Birthday Cake. It's a simple story, and it doesn't take long for you get invested in the main character, Gio. The cast is stacked with a bunch of talent, And I had a good time watching it.

The editing is a bit sketchy and the sound quality is atrocious. I had a hard time understanding the dialogue so I had to turn on the subtitles.

I mainly wanted to leave a review to score it fairly for those with an open mind. It's much better than a 3 or 4 out of 10 like IMDb has it scored. The talented cast alone makes it worth watching. Check it out.

Omg why did I waste so much time watching this to the end, it was completely nonsensical from beginning to the end! From the ridiculous script to the awful acting, really just nonsense!

I went into this movie knowing nothing and it was the first movie I watched in the theaters since the end of 2019. I only give it two stars because it is comically bad and I did get a morbid sense of amusement from how bad it was. The soundtrack conflicts with the images on screen often and there are these jarring guitar stings that come incrementally that blow your ears out. They got a cast with some names and it comes across as if they all only chose to do it on the condition that they only would have to show up for one day. It comes across as lazy and it also has a bunch of plot lines that never crescendo to anything, it just pads time. I don't know who this movie is for, but if you want a good laugh from a bad movie then this is the one for you.

Dragged on, lots of fluff, cameos and then when you thought it was all coming together...credits

Don't bother...
