Waiting Thread

Has anyone here ever seen the movie Waiting. If anyone has ever worked in a restaurant you should so check this movie out. Its sooo funny, i haven't cracked up so hard since watching bad santa. But beware look out for the goat and the batwing.

Fun movie. I was expecting it to be much worse then it was. Too bad Dane Cook didn't get a larger part.

I rented this and thought it was funny. I haven't worked in the restaurant business at all, but I know some people who have. I think this is the restaurant version of Office Space, but not as funny.

Loved it. Anyone watch the extra where they're filming the scene where everybody's cheering the pee dude on and Luis Guzman was acting like a dick? That looked so real, I was saying to myself "Damn, I thought he was cool???" The looks on the other actors faces were priceless.

Welcome to Thunderdome, BITCH!

I really liked the movie and thought it was funny. It really reminded me of my friend who worked in a resturant in Louisiana. Btw seeing the Abita beer signs, was this movie filmed in Louisiana? Im just saying this because Abita is a local micro brew overthere.

How is that a spoiler? I've never seen the film and that doesn't seem to give anything away at all. Just curious.

It was a decent film. I guess it works as a sort of clerks for the new generation of kids or something as it pretty much had the same set up and just about the only difference was that the main character actually took the second option of "shit or got off the pot" were as dante just stood around there.

Waiting is pretty funny and the DVD bonus features are plentiful, but it is not a movie I would want to rewatch much. I thought Dane Cook's character was the best.
