I'm not attempting to overanalyze anything, I'm just trying to help Pants as we both try to kill some time. It's my day off, and I'm admittedly overanalyzing a pointless piece of pop culture stupidity that will fade after a decade or so. That's all. Breathe in... now slowly... exhale... and we're good. I agree, it was just a cake that she baked so it could be used as a comedic plot device when she slams it over his head. I said I was playing Devil's advocate.

As far as the movie goes, if you read my review you would see that I didn't think it was bad, I just thought it was okay. I said I laughed at quite a bit of it, but I was also bored by it too. The dance number, while funny, seemed strange, but there it is. I didn't feel like I wasted my time; I said I was glad I got to see it but also glad I didn't buy my ticket. Take that however you will, but I didn't hate it or even dislike it. I thought it was just average. That to me is a 6 or so. I never said it was sucky. Is it Smith's best? Hell no. Is it his worst? Hell no. Jersey Girl was his worst. If we're talking about View Askew movies, it might be my least favorite but it's closely followed by Jay and Silent Bob and Chasing Amy. My fave is Mallrats, but that's my generation.
So, in summation. Calm heads will prevail; movie not sucky or bad, just okay which earns it a 6ish on my scale; not trying to be pretentious and artsy, just trying to have fun with a silly, stupid and pointless cake smashing scene. It's all in jest. Lighten up.
