Amy Sedaris and Rachel

Last night, Cupcakes Take The Cake blogger Nichelle went to a press screening of the long-awaited Amy Sedaris movie, Strangers With Candy. First, I gotta say that this movie is strictly for adults-no nudity-but profanity and sexual content. Second, it's hilarious! Amy Sedaris' Jerri Blank is a twisted character that is hard to describe but she is the loser that no one really roots for but loves anyway. Stephen Colbert is fantastic as Chuck Noblet, the science teacher. Cameos by Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, Allison Janney and Philip Seymour Hoffman are great. The movie reminds me of "Revenge of the Nerds" meets John Water's "A Dirty Shame". My only problem with the movie was that there were no cupcakes. In the press kit, Amy Sedaris' bio says:
Amy works to support to her cupcake and cheeseball business.
Working for cupcakes is noble vocation indeed! The movie opens June 28.
