Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

cmburton-29875 This movie is actually true to form. Everyone should be forced to wait tables at some point in their lives and this movie couldn't be more indicative of an actual restaurant. I worked at much nicer places than a Bennigans esq place like this and yet still, not that far off :)

Dunham16 The theme is employees of a business put up with behind the scenes problems and nuisances but if needing the job somehow pull through and continue to collect their pay. The hit Hollywood movie IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME 1949 and the hit British situation comedy ARE YOU BEING SERVED 1975 through 1975-82 are prime examples of this genre at its finest. WAITING 2005 is a Hollywood comedy which fictionalizes the problems behind the scenes of employees at a chain restaurant which for some reason is visualized by the photographer and editor as resembling many branches of the real Applebees chain. The movie focus on crude humor melded to public male nudity. What seems fascinating is the prediction in this well made and edited film of the general historic failure to soon follow of branches of chain restaurants as more and more emigres to American urban centers in which chain restaurants often focus their branches recently relocated from more rural areas of low population density. If not in fact today frankly preferring takeout when this is a local option they otherwise prefer the food court in which the customers line up at the counter of the particular takeout they prefer at that hour to be invited if they prefer to consume their meal at tables within the facility but not managed by the counter staff at which they order their food.In retrospect this level of chain restaurant branch which once flourished in neighborhoods in which the local patrons preferred to regularly visit these establishments for regular meals is today on the way out on the American landscape.

Terryfan When my older brother told me we're going to see Waiting... I didn't know what to say but since he offer to let me go I decided to be a good sport and go watch Waiting... in theaters in 2005. He could relate to this movie since he worked in the restaurant business before. Looking back on this movie I still remember our reaction in the theater still makes me turn away at some moments.The Film stars: Ryan Reynolds as Monty Justin Long as Dean Anna Faris as Serena David Koechner as Dan Luis Guzmán as Raddimus Chi McBride as Bishop John Francis Daley as Mitch Kaitlin Doubleday as Amy Robert Patrick Benedict as Calvin Alanna Ubach as Naomi Vanessa Lengies as Natasha Max Kasch as T-Dog Andy Milonakis as Nick Dane Cook as Floyd Jordan Ladd as Danielle Emmanuelle Chriqui as Tyla the Bartender Wendie Malick as Monty's MomEach of these characters work in the restaurant Shenaniganz. And this is where the fun begins. The film throughout is full of classic quotes some that are still being repeated even now. So despite some ordeals the writing in the film works.The humor does have some gross moments but the rest is enjoyable I still remember in theater theater how everyone laughed and it just goes to show how well it hold up. The acting in this film is real strong the entire cast help the film and their performances help make their characters convincing it's nice to see a independent movie getting a shot like this and each of the cast members really did a good job Yes there are moments that you would agree shouldn't been in the film but the film is really enjoyable and will make you laugh.I give Waiting... An 8 out of 10

Bobson10 Directed by Rob McKittrick Starring Ryan Reynolds, Justin Long and Anna Faris.Written by Rob McKittrick 'Young employees at Shenaniganz restaurant collectively stave off boredom and adulthood with their antics' Before watching this picture, I was expecting a soulless comedy that keeps repeating to come out of the film industry lately. But I was stunned with the dialogue and story. What this movie lacks with budget, it makes up for in laughs.Rob McKittrick did a fantastic job in this film. He couldn't have caught the setting and atmosphere of a restaurant any better. The writing is the film's strongest aspect. The jokes are hilarious and the 'game' played by the co-workers is one of the most original ideas I've seen in film in a long time.The cast was great but with many flaws. I enjoyed the chefs the most out of the characters. They generate most of the 'game' playing and create the biggest hassle for the waiters. Great to watch. I didn't enjoy Justin Long. I loved his work in 'Dodgeball' because he portrays the character so well. He plays a wimpy and unconfident teenager. But when it comes to a character who has many friends within the workplace, giving sex advice and questioning his life goals...I just can't believe Justin Long as the character. Stick to what you do best, Justin.This film isn't for everyone. It's dirty, volgar, and inappropriately stupid in many ways but that's where most of the comedy is presented. If you can't get past all the offensive jokes, you will not see the beauty in this film. A great re-watchable movie.
