Rating: - Waiting sharp, but not enough bite.
As a person who has been waiting tables in a breakfast restaurant, I could appreciate a movie like this. However, it doesn't cover enough of the aggravation of working in food service. It touches on some of them, but does not exploit it enough. The script should have been more creative, such as inventing its own words to name problem customers. It would have also been more affective if this was a restaurant with 0 tolerence for hostile patrons. It had enough laughs for me to slightly recommend it.

Workplace comedies are something that strike a chord in us all -- most people have held less-than-glamorous tuition-paying jobs, and sometimes resented the people we have been forced to deal with politely. No tips. Annoying coworkers. Twerpy customers who just don't get it, at all.
That's the main idea of Rob McKittrick's "Waiting...", a pale imitation of Kevin Smiths' breakout film "Clerks." It could have been a delightful comedy in the vein of "Office Space," but alas, we get a pale, rather cliched comedy with a few gem-like moments.
Mitch (John Francis Daley) is starting his first day on the job at Shenanigan's, and he rapidly learns that the ropes are tangled and grubby. There's a philosophical dishwasher (Chi McBride), a smart-aleck, the nice guy with issues, a snarling dominatrix, and a sexpot waittress. And that's only the beginning...
Though Shenanigan's seems normal, there are drunken parties, crazed employees, and food seasoned with dandruff. With disdain for the customers and for each other, the employees spar, stare, and make jokes that will instantly offend gays, women and people with Down Syndrome. Can Dean (Justin Long) manage to get a decent job, or will he sink into the mire of Shenanigan's kitchen?
Anybody who has ever worked a minimum wage job like this will know that it's a gold mine for comedy. I myself have fond memories of a coworker going ballistic when a customer demanded that she spread the cream cheese for him. Unfortunately, ... Read More

This is an incredible movie. I saw it in theatres the day it came out. I have my phone alarm set for the minute I get out of school on Febuary 7th (when it comes out on DVD) to go get it.
