WAITING
SYNOPSIS
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 by underage
girls, 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 stoned 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. -- © Lions Gate Films

After watching Waiting...., I will either eat at home or treat my servers like royality. Not
recommended for one that eats out a lot. Sure to hit home with anyone that has waited tables .
And yes, at times, will make you laugh with it's crude and raunchy behavior.
