And no filmmaker has ever so accurately portrayed the complex and irreconcilable tension between the wait staff and kitchen staff.
MIKE LANGY HOW TO
All the customers in this film (the cheap red necks who don't know how to tip, the b****y women, the drunk and horny men) are all customers I've waited on. There's the hot/slutty/underage hostess, the fat and ugly cook who somehow dates a really hot waitress, the stoner/punk bust boy, and the manager with the chip on his shoulder. All the characters in Waiting are based on the real people who work in every restaurant.
The restaurant they all work at is called "Shenanigans," but it looks an awful lot like the TGI Fridays I worked at. Then we see the wait staff hung-over at work the next day. The movie opens at a late-night party with lots of underage drinking, smoking, and sex. First-time writer/director Rob McKittrick has created a dead-on depiction of 24 hours in the restaurant biz. But those of you who have felt the pain, degradation, and humiliation of waiting tables will p**s your pants laughing at how PERFECT this movie is. Those who have never worked a day of their lives in a restaurant may find this movie amusing, but they'll think it's too absurd to be real, and they'll probably never give a second thought to this movie ever again. Here's how I see it the world is divided into two groups of people: those who have waited tables and those who haven't.
Waiting is the best, most accurate, most honest, and most riotously funny movie ever made about the service industry. I hated (HATED!) being a waitress, but this movie is so hilarious and so ballsy that it almost makes me want to go back to the summer of 1999 to work one more shift at TGI Fridays.
