What happens in the kitchen ends up on the plate.

Employees at a Bennigan's-like restaurant (called, creatively enough, Shenanigan's), kill time before their real lives get started. But while they wait, they'll have to deal with picky customers who want their steak cooked to order and enthusiastic managers who want to build the perfect wait staff. Luckily, these employees have effective revenge tactics.

Waiting... is incredible for three reasons. Firstly, it was one of the films that helped rocket forward the careers of both Ryan Reynolds (Buried, Deadpool) and Justin Long (Accepted, Dodgeball, Jeepers Creepers). Secondly, it glorifies what is in my opinion the best American Comedy ever made, Super Troopers, as well as Kevin Smith (director of Clerks I & II, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Dogma, Chasing Amy, Mallrats) Finally, it's an American Comedy movie, and I paid actual money for it. I then watched it. I've watched it before. I'll probably even watch it again. BOOM! This probably means nothing to anyone who's reading this (there's also probably nobody reading this) but regardless, it's quite a big deal. Managing to take something as mundane as one day in a repetitive dead-end catering job, and make it even vaguely humorous is rather an achievement. You should watch it and play the other-other "The Game" (sidenote: I lost the game) like we used to in High School. 'Cause I'm classy like that. Seriously though, and I can't believe my thoughts even as I'm typing this, but I honestly think Waiting... is an underrated American Comedy gem, maybe I'm just seeing that comparatively, or with the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia, but I really do enjoy the film. 76% -Gimly
