My Rating
(out of 5 envelopes):
(out of 5 envelopes):
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Runtime: 104 minutes
Genre: Indie, Romantic Comedy, Drama
A word to the wise: don’t watch this film when you’re hungry. You’ll be craving pie by the end of it. Waitress really is the definition of a chick flick. At times, this film will make you crack up, other times you’ll just want to go “Awww,” and other times you’ll want to cry.
Waitress is a cute little story about Jenna(Keri Russel), a waitress at Joe’s Pie Diner. She works there with her quirky friends Becky(Cheryl Hines) and Dawn(Adrienne Shelly). Jenna’s one passion is pie, and she expresses her life through them. One day, she finds she is pregnant with her obsessive jackass of a husband Earl. Now she has to figure out what to do.
However, I had a few problems with this movie. I thought the fake southern accents were pretty bad and hard to listen to for over an hour and a half. The plot of this movie is really unrealistic, too.
But there were good things too. There were a lot of “aww” moments in the movie as well as hilarious moments. And that’s what makes a good romantic comedy I suppose. For me, the scenes between Jenna and her doctor were both hilarious and aww moments. As a bonus the pies in this movie looked absolutely delectable(they have recipes online here).
Overall, I’d say that if you’re craving a girl-power romantic comedy, this would definitely satisfy your craving (was that meant as a bad pie pun? Either way, sorry!).
