PATTI CAKE$ esittelee australialaisen näyttelijättären Danielle Macdonaldin läpimurtoroolissaan. Macdonald on aloitteleva räppäri Patricia Dombrowski, a.k.a. Killa P, a.k.a. Patti Cake$, joka vimmatusti pyristelee kohti maailmanmainetta. Patti yrittää breikata omaperäisellä musiikillaan Jerseyn hiphop-skenessä samalla, kun hänen elämänsä on hajoamassa käsiin. Vaikka Patti joutuu huolehtimaan omien ongelmiensa lisäksi äitinsä (Bridget Everett) sydänsuruista ja vastoinkäymisistä, hänen isoäitinsä (Cathy Moriarty) sekä ystävänsä Jheri (Siddharth Dhananjay) ja Basterd (Mamoudou Athie) kannustavat häntä kulkemaan pää pystyssä kohti hurjimpiakin unelmia.

I liked the scenes where Patti Cake$ with her chums was creating music. It came across really well. Her, Nigger Antichrist (who shouldn’t be called a Nigger, but Antichrist is okay) and a crazy Indian guy, who added a bit of Bollywood into the heavy rap, initially came across as the biggest amateurs. In time, however, they turned into pretty solid professionals, which is also a nice thing about the movie. What’s worse, though, is that I don’t really appreciate this kind of music. It didn’t make the impression as if they wanted to impress the serial murderers on Life Sentence Radio, nor as if did they wanted their music to be played by typical pop radios. It was a sort of small-scale film, which has a few good ideas about writing music. A person who knows what that’s about can at least appreciate the movie for that. Otherwise, if they don’t like the music, they’ll condemn it anyway.

It’s hard to avoid comparisons to 8 Mile, but for a film that looks almost amateurish in places, or at least very independent, I sure as hell liked it. The music develops quite well here and the finale has its own momentum. I didn't mind any of the characters, and in fact it was quite easy to relate to them.
