Review of Waiting...

Waiting... starring Ryan Renyolds, Anna Farris, Justin Long and David Koechner tells the story of a group of individuals that work at a restaurant called Shenaneganz, a family-style restaurant ala Apple Bee's or T.G.I. Friday's. Waiting... tells the story of everyone working at Shenaneganz from the Manager to the servers, hosts, cooks, dishwasher, bus boys, bartenders and even the new employee.

While the movie had some laughs, it is certainly geared toward those who have worked in the food service industry, something I have never done. What I did like about Waiting... were some of the inside tips presented by the writer such as never sending your food back to the kitchen and seeing how service staff treat rude customers.

In the end, never working at a restaurant makes me feel somewhat left out of the humor and certain scenes were slow.

Look out for Chi McBride and Dane Cook in small roles.

I give it a 7/10. It was a decent movie but it could have been better.
