Review of Waiting...

Waiting... (I) (2005)
6/10
Glorifies Waiting Tables...which isn't a bad thing
23 January 2006
This is a fun movie...but after you see it, you'll never want to see it again...unless of course you're actually working in a TGIFridays or a Red Robin. I worked at a large restaurant and I felt this movie was small. The size of the restaurant I worked in was HUGE in comparison...which is one thing that seemed to turn me off about this movie. I did like some of the laughs, but a lot of them had been done before. The rudeness of some of the setups was fresh and unique, but the problem I had is so few movies dare to really go over that edge. I won't give anything away, but there is only one scene that they really went over, and my girlfriend and I BOTH think they should of put in A LOT more of those to achieve cult status. Both her and I LOVE Ryan Reynolds, but felt he is capable of WAY more sick and twisted depth as an actor. Look at him in "Buying the Cow" and you'll see what I mean. So, is it worth seeing? Yes, especially if you've waited on tables or worked in the industry. Is it worth buying? No, once you've seen it...you'll never want to see it again.

P.S. ALWAYS be nice to your server, they have a hard job and can make you're food "special" if you're not careful. ;)
