Caked It

This was a good laugh, the wooden spoon gag being a real highlight. I really appreciate how this film milks a simple idea—anniversary, bake a cake, done—for more than you'd think. There's a great shift in the music that amplifies the comedic intensity of the situation and some good jokes come from it. I think it could have benefitted even more with some intense filmmaking choices—crash zooms, dramatic lighting, close-ups of the actor sweating profusely etc.—but what's here still sells it. Had one of those endings that, even though I saw it coming, was exactly how I wanted this film to end. Small team. Punchy film. I liked it.

I enjoyed this one a lot. Simplicity often makes a film and one location, apart from the ending exterior climax. Nicely shot, on an iPhone no less!

Slightly more edge of the seat tension would have been good, but nonetheless, even though I saw the ending coming, one of my heat favourites.
