Patti Cake$


In a coming-of-age story straight out of Jersey, an unlikely rapper finds her voice as a one-of-a-kind hip-hop legend in the making in "Patti Cake$," the first feature film from acclaimed commercial and music-video director Geremy Jasper. Set in gritty strip-mall suburbia, "Patti Cake$" chronicles an underdog’s quest for fame and glory with humor, raw energy and some unforgettable beats.

This was a pretty enjoyable watch.  If you were to take 8 Mile and make Eminem a white girl with a very random posse - you have Patti Cake$.  That being said, the movie was well done and enjoyable regardless of the feeling that you have kind of seen it before.  The characters and the freedom they are given acting wise really carried it.  

I would sort of recommend people checking this movie out.  It's not a must see by any means and honestly it barely opened so I'm not sure about how much it's possible for anyone to see it if they wanted to, but it's a pretty good watch.
