Waiting (Blu-ray)

Unrated and Raw!

Features: Widescreen, Unrated, English, Subtitled, Spanish, Dolby Digital (5.1)

Always remember the cardinal rule of eating out: Never mess with people who handle your food! Ryan Reynolds (The Amityville Horror), Anna Faris (the Scary Movie trilogy) and Justin Long (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) star in this hilarious comedy about the band of mischievous waiters, waitresses and cooks just waiting to show guests how extraordinary the service at ShenaniganZ restaurant can be.

"Rudely, profanely, obnoxiously funny!"  Kansas City Star
"You'll laugh and hate yourself for it."  Ken Fox, TV Guide
"The young cast members...[are] spirited and funny, and restaurantgoers are left with a valuable lesson."  Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

Editor's Note

Upon his arrival at Shenaniganz, a suburban chain restaurant bedecked with decorative knick-knacks, new wait staff trainee Mitch (John Francis Daley) is placed under the wing of Monty (Ryan Reynolds), a veteran who first informs his young charge that all male employees engage in a game in which the object is to get others to unwittingly look at your genitals. Unwittingly, Mitch has stumbled into a world where servers--such as angry Naomi (Alana Ubach), and coquettish Serena (Anna Faris), along with a rowdy kitchen staff--led by randy Raddimus (Luis Guzman)--are at constant war with their demanding, low-tipping customers. Meanwhile, waiter Dean (Justin Long) must decide whether to take a promotion to manager or set out for brighter horizons beyond birthday songs and whimsically-named appetizers.

The first film from writer-director Rob McKittrick has a low-budget charm that is well suited to the realistic desperation below its crowd-pleasing gross-out humor. Long is a likeable straight man to Reynolds' wisecracking ringleader, while Chi McBride and indie veteran Ubach (CLOCKWATCHERS) add texture in their supporting roles. A cousin in crudity to Kevin Smith's subdivision-themed comedies, WAITING will score a bull's-eye with service industry pros or anyone who prefers their comedy to originate from below the belt.

Waiting - DVD Review

By: Blake French - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews

Published on: 7/6/2007 4:15 PM

Those who have worked in food service know the challenges and difficulties the trade involves. They also know, as patrons, how to conduct themselves at a restaurant. More likely than not, they have observed a few incidences in which an employee at a restaurant quite possibly themselves has sought revenge on an especially difficult customer by tampering with the food in nasty, nauseating, stomach-churning ways, and they dont want something similar to happen to them....read the full review
