A hilarious comedy about frustrated waiters, stingy tippers and dicey food, Lions Gate Films' WAITING... stars Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris and Justin Long as young employees battling boredom at Shenanigan's, a generic chain restaurant. A waiter for four years since high school, Dean (Justin Long) has never questioned his job at Shenanigan's. But when he learns that Chett, a high school classmate, now has a lucrative career in electrical engineering, he's thrown into turmoil about his dead-end life. Dean's friend Monty (Ryan Reynolds) is in exactly the same boat, but he couldn't care less. More concerned with partying and getting laid, Monty is put in charge of training Mitch (John Francis Daley), a shy new employee. Over the course of one chaotic shift, Mitch gets to know the rest of Shenanigan's quirky staff: Monty's tough-talking ex-girlfriend, Serena (Anna Faris), Shenanigan's over-zealous manager, Dan (David Koechner), and head cook Raddimus (Luis Guzman), who's obsessed with a senseless staff-wide competition known only as "The Game"... Featuring crazy busboys, unsanitary kitchen antics, and lots of talk about sex, WAITING... is a hysterical, behind-the-scenes look at the restaurant industry, and an affectionate ode to those lost, and thoroughly unproductive, days of youth.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Formulaic stinker
Comment: Predictable, cheap. Blatant over-the-top jokes. If you loved Meatballs 3, you'll like Waiting.
Customer Rating:
Summary: good movie but it really makes you think about what really goes on in a resturant kitchen
Comment: I really liked this movie and I would recomend this to any fan of the actors /actresses in the film, but if you watch this be prepared to be grossed out. my best friend actually owns this and after I saw his copy for the 1st time I really began to second guess eating out.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Movie, But Rent This One (B-)
Comment: I watched this movie on a suggestion from a friend, so that may be the reason I was somewhat disappointed. Sometimes when you go in with a high level of expectations, you get disappointed.
Overall, I think the movie was a B-. The plot revolves around the life of the staff of a Bennigans-style restaurant, called Shenanigans. Every character has their quirks and back stories. There is no real romance in this one, so if you are get this one hoping for a love story, don't.
The main issue I had with this movie is that it really does not go any where with the plot. What you basically get is a few days in the lives of the employees at the restaurant.
The movie felt very much like Can't Hardly Wait (10th Anniversary Edition).
Overall, it's a decent enough movie, but I would rent versus buy.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Entertaining enough.
Comment: This film is entertaining enough as a popcorn movie. The plot and story are basic and the comedy is crude and obvious. It is funny for what it is but certainly not one of Ryan Reynolds best.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Worth the "Wait"
Comment: I originally caught bits and pieces of this on Comedy Central a few months back. Because I wasn't watching it straight, it was hard to follow but what I had seen was funny.
So I saw it on here for really cheap and was using up some credit so I decided to buy it. I have to say that once you get into the story it's even funnier. Some of the humor is a bit crude, some of it is gross, but you can easily identify with the characters that are played by some of today's most recognizable comic actors.
Great movie to watch with a group of friends!
