Crude and true at times, this movie reminded me what it was to like to deal with the unknowing, unforgiving, not caring, stupid public as a whole. This movie is hilarious! If you have ever been a waiter or in the food industry you should watch this. If you have ever been the jerk who gives us a hard time you should watch this. Remember this isn't just a movie, someone has had to experience this in order to hit the nail directly on the head. Go ahead be a jerk if we or the kitchen accidentally mess up, go ahead...LOL Watching this movie will make you say oh yeah or oops maybe i shouldn't be a jerk!

If you've ever worked in the food service industry, "Waiting" is a Must See. Ryan Reynolds, although not typically my favorite actor, does an excellent job as the main character in this movie about working in a chain restaurant. As a former waitress/host/bartender I found this movie to be a good, hilarious reflection of what really goes on in the kitchen. My favorite part of the movie centers on a rude customer who gets some "extra attention" to her meal. Also hilarious was the dopey restaurant manager trying to help out in the kitchen, but rather just gets in the way. I'm usually not into the crude type of humor featured in "Waiting," but I couldn't help but love some of the practical jokes and rites of passage featured at the restaurant. This is definatley a must see movie for anyone who has EVER been so lucky to work such a thankless job in the food service industry.

Waiting, starring Ryan Reynolds is packed with hilarious innuendos and all out raunchy scenes. This film will leave you walking away with lines you'll repeat to friends and make inside jokes out of. Definitely relates to those who have worked in the hospitality industry. Basically "don't mess with those who handle your food!" All out hilarious flick would recommend to a mature audience. Watch for explicit scenes.
What's great about it: Gives true perspective to the hospitality industry

As with a lot of today's funny films, I had to watch this movie a second time to really appreciate it. I initially rented it, kinda enjoyed it, and didn't think much about it afterwards. Then, it came on cable tv, and I realized that I actually missed all the good ole crude humor. Finally, I appreciated the movie and the story that goes with it enough to buy the dvd. I mean, come on, its got Ryan Reynolds in it. He's about as "side-hurting" humorous as anyone gets today.

This is a very funny movie. Unfortunately, it seems to be an either hate it or love it sort of movie. So, if you haven't seen it, you may want to rent it first.
The only special feature to not make it to the Blu-ray is a 6 minute collection of real stories from actual waiters. So no real loss there, I just thought I would mention it.
The video and audio are top notch with this blu-ray as well. Fans of the film will not be disappointed.
What's great about it: Hilarious, Great Picture and Lossless Audio
What's not so great: Not all the features from the DVD made the cut

Not an award winner, but the actors in it and how they go about the day-to-day things are great fun. Anyone who worked or works in a restaurant should get one heck of a kick out of it.
