Review: Rapping her way out of the gutter, Patti tries to overcome her unsupportive mother, critical peers and lack of opportunity.  Rising above it all by seeing good in others that are downtrodden Patti uses her natural talent to create a sense of worth for herself. 

Patti Cakes is targetted at an audience that loves the rawness of rap, and themes of rising against all odds.
