Patti Cake$ Film Review: Waitress by Day, Rapper by Night
Cert 15 for language content.
This is an independently made musical which follows the rags to (presumably) riches life of an aspiring female rapper. Australian actress Danielle MacDonald is Patti, a young waitress by day, and an ambitious rapper by night.
Patti is searching for stardom with her equally talented friend who works as a pharmacist.
Meanwhile Patti is also financially struggling to support her ailing grandmother, whose medical costs are mounting causing frequent debt collector phone-calls chasing up for payment.
There's some friction between Patti and her mother, who had a promising singing career which ended early.
Patti is a white girl trying to make it in the black stereotypical world of rap, it's not the most original story, and feels predictable, especially towards the end.
Worth watching even if you're not a big fan of rap music.
8/10.
