Well done..

A great comedy that flew under the radar on the big screen. If you like Bennigans, you'd like this movie. If you have any sense of humor, you'd like this movie. If you pronounce the store "Target" like "tar-jay", then you... Full review

They could have at least tried to tell a story. They just made the waiters seem like used, dumb deviants.... Full review

Totally recommend hiring this DVD. Ryan Reynolds & Luis Guzman compliment a cast of relative newbies. Was laughing my @@@ off from the start to the finish. Takes a very boring subject (waiting tables) and makes it look interesting. Nothing I... Full review

Not a "chick flick". See it with a buddy, preferrably someone who's worked in a restaurant before. Check out "The Goat" ... gotcha, meat gazer.... Full review

A true cult classic this will be for eternity. Funny script, good acting, the game, what more coud you ask for. Ryan Reynolds, Justin Long, Anna Farris, and Luiz Guzman all do great. The supporting cast with of their problems(especially Naomi)... Full review

Funny, but only if you've worked in a restaurant

It's hard for me to give this movie a grade, since I think the viewer's level of enjoyment will vary drastically depending on whether or not they've worked a restaurant job before. If you have, you've had personal experience with the... Full review

Justin Long takes a back seat to the funny, becoming more laid back than his normal quirky self and letting Dane Cook and Ryan Reynolds hold down the comedy. Monty also really enjoys showing the new guy Mitch (John Francis Daley) around the restaurant, which includes some crazy introductions to Raddimus (Luis Guzman), Floyd (Dane Cook) and the rest of the kitchen staff. ...

while Justin Long's troubled twentysomething belongs to a more thoughtful film that isn't obsessed with genital contortion Ryan Reynolds' irritatingly smug cradle-snatcher is offset by choice support from Anna Faris and Luis Guzman ... Full Review

First time writer-director Rob McKittrick has assembled a decent comic cast....The main problem with the film is....the best part of the film is the made-up rap song sung by two minor cast members over the end credits.....In short, Waiting is something of a disappointment.....Poorly directed, depressingly dull comedy with hardly any laugh-out-loud moments -.... ...

I absolutely loved this movie, it was hysterical....The movie is about a Shenanigan's, a restaurant where the wait staff is a mix of crazy misfits who all have problems.....Waiting Serves Up the Laughs....I think to really enjoy this movie you have to have worked in a restaurant..... ...

Amazingly, in spite of all the problems with Waiting... These few highlights, however, can't make up for the dull narrative and superficial characterisations, and limit Waiting... there were moments I did enjoy, and occasional laughs. ... Full Review

There's nothing quite as profitable at the movies as human misery. Paying $10 to sit for two hours and watch other people suffer seems a little sadistic, but then again, it's not sadistic if they can't hear you laugh, right? ... Full Article

Too bad Waiting... had to go anywhere beyond last fall's congealed and succinctly successful one-minute trailer. Neither the October 7th big screen release or this February 7th small screen offering are nearly as satisfying, leading this reviewer to ponder perhaps... ... Full Article
