Great Trailer For the Hip Hop Sundance Sensation PATTI CAKE$
The first trailer has been released for the Sundance hit film Patti Cake$. I ended up being completely surprised by this film when I first saw. I actually didn't even want to watch it at first, but I'm glad I did because it ended up being one of my favorite movies at the film festival.
The movie was so much fun to watch, and it had such great characters. From beginning to end it was hilariously entertaining.
Patricia “Killa P” Dombrowski drafts rhymes behind the bar at a dingy dive, trying to pay off her coarse but beloved Nana’s medical bills and support her hard-drinking mom, whose own musical aspirations failed long ago. Patti and her rap partner/best friend Jheri share dreams of fame, fortune, and escaping Dirty Jersey for good, but they haven’t found a producer with the "fire beats" they need. Unbroken by the taunts of local goons, she unexpectedly gravitates to a reclusive goth-metal musician named Basterd, a newcomer who just might be able to help Patti achieve hip-hop superstardom.
As I said in my review, "The film tells a wonderful feel good story of never giving up and working hard and making sacrifices to fulfill your dreams. I think this is a movie that audiences will love if they give it a chance." So give it a chance!
The movie hits theaters on August 18th.
