Sitting In Bars With Cakes: A Sweet Movie Review
Sitting in Bars with Cake is a heartwarming film about female friendship, self-discovery, and the power of cake. The film follows two best friends, Corinne (Odessa A'zion) and Jane (Yara Shahidi), as they navigate life in Los Angeles in their 20s. Corinne is the ultimate extrovert; she's always up for a good time and loves meeting new people. Jane is the shyer one, but she's also incredibly talented at baking.
