Cup Cake

PJ is in a pickle: his parents are missing, he is a spectacular failure at running their bakery called Cup Cake, and he is up to his neck in debt with the local loan sharks. To add to his misery, he has been duped into marriage by their impossibly tanned and serially jilted sister, Kitty. Enter Gala, a mysterious, beautiful artist with a few tricks of her own. PJ, a robot-obsessed dreamer, and his hapless friends—aided by the ever resourceful Gala—set about cooking up the revival of Cup Cake's fortunes and spicing up PJ's love life along the way.

Directed by Colin McIvor, Cup Cake leans on a strong ensemble — Adam Best, Michelle Fairley, Clive Russell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2010.
