OMG I love this comedy..Justin Long is still cute and so is Ryan Reynolds .. loved Alanna Ubach her swearing made me laugh so much. A must see..wish someone could upload part 2 :)

Love this film. I've worked as a waitress throughout high school, and yes, things like these happen. Brilliantly done and funny, funny, funny. 10/10

p.s. Remember to be nice to people who serve you food...

Funny movie, loved all the little story lines.

Waiting wasn't really one of those movies that had me laughing out loud, rolling on the floor. It was more one of those "funny because its true" type of films. The way that the restaurant, the employees, and the customers were portrayed was absolutely perfect. I've never actually been a waiter, but all the stories I've heard from friends have been exactly like the ones portrayed here on film.

The movie basically relies on disgusting gags to get most of the laughs, but there are a few more insightful moments, especially at the end. This movie was a lot more intelligent than I was expecting it to be.

All the employees have their own funny characteristics. David Koechner is every manager you've ever worked for ("the difference between ordinary and extraordinary....is just that litte extra"), and I truly hope that the portrayal of the chefs wasn't based on any true story, though I have my suspicions. Waiting is definitely a film worth watching.

DVD First Viewing, 1 McKittrick film seen

Waiting... is a sad disgrace for a movie. First off, it has no plot what-so-ever. It is terribly directed. It has a terrible screenplay. It has decent actors giving bad performances, except for Alanna Ubach(who's the only funny one) and Anna Faris(who i think is actually a good actress, if she'd only stop doing those endless and stupid Scary Movie sequels). This "Comedy" is not funny and is very boring, the characters are so bad that i wanted it to end fast and it's attempt at being raunchy, just doesn't work.

This was surprisingly good. I didn't have any expectations for this but it is somewhat realistic to real work life except for their game...thank god for that. Also there are some over reactions by a lot of the characters. I've seen a lot of over reactions but not like this.

Ryan Reynolds told the trainee not to feel bad because lady was a bitch. I didn't feel bad, in fact I think she deserved what she got. That stupid bitch, I hope she chokes on the pubes. Too harsh, I know, even for a fictional character, but it is real. There are real assholes out there that you just want to slap around. This movie can make all those who've dealt with some stand up and cheer.

:fresh: This movie really brings to live some of your worst nightmares about eating in a public food joint. However am surprised as it could have been a lot worse. Mind you the idea of playing a game with your weiners hanging out in a restaurant isn't exactly pretty.

Ryan Reynolds plays a good role as does the newbie he is showing around. Does anyone know if it was him from Napoleon Dynamite? I was hoping a bit more from Justin Long and Anna Faris but they can't be great in everything I suppose.

One of my favourite characters was the baldy boss. He is one of the actors from Anchorman and although obviously doesn't live up to Anchorman, plays a good part. One of his best moments being towards the end.

Enjoy your next McDonalds......

Dont expect a message from this movie. The only way to describe this movie is: Rude, Crude, Offensive, and quite often Hilarious. 3.5/5

This movie does for the restaurant industry what Clerks did for video stores. While not as funny as some of the other comedies out there, I felt that this was an accurate portrayal of a day in the kitchen. Having worked in several restaurants, I can say that anyone who refuses to believe that wait staff could behave like this has lead a sheltered life.

The one thing that I waited for in this movie was the initiation. In every restaurant I've worked, they've always made the new guy do something stupid, and they didn't in this movie. Here's a few examples:

1. Make the new guy rummage through storage for the missing "bacon stretcher".

Laugh all you want, when you're the new guy and the boss (whom you foolishly trust) tells you to do something, you typically do it.

2. Send the new guy to the neighbouring KFC to ask for decaffeinated coffee filters.

The best about that one is when they actually send you back for something else that doesn't exist in response, first.

But enough of this, we're talking about a movie here.

The customers act exactly the way that customers in real life do. Anyone who feels that staff should always be upbeat, or can't figure out why people aren't as cheery as possible, probably haven't seen the rotten customers that show up on a daily basis.

The bottom line: There may be a lot of people who don't find this movie as funny as they could. These people have probably never worked with the public in any way. Also, with a cast list including Anna Faris, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Long, you're pretty much getting what can be expected. Watch this movie, then be forevermore nice to your waiters.

The rant that the new guy spews forth at the end would have made the entire movie worth it, had it even been awful.
