Waiting... (2005)

Waiting

Funny movie with a new outlook to the restaurant business. Makes you think what really goes on in the back. August 29, 2008

Needs more extras

The blu-ray did not offer any more extras then the original. The movie is still great though. April 19, 2008

THIS SUCKS DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

This is a waste of time and money. It is not funny and not entertaining so don't bother to buy or even rent this. February 27, 2008

A few good laughs

I love Van Wilder, but this is not one I see myself revisiting. There are a few good laughs, but nothing to make me want to go back and rewatch it. If I happen to a catch it on TV I won't watch it again. This story centers around a restaurant names "Shenannigans", I'm surprised Hannigans or Bennigans didn't sue them considering what is done to the customers food. Actually maybe they did and I didn't hear about it. Teenagers may find this very amusing, until they grow up and someone does it to their food. I was once a Maitre D' so when I caught a bus boy spitting in the potato salad, the rest the staff didn't think it was funny and he was immediately fired.

You can say chill, it's a comedy, or whatever you like, the bottom line is people do this in real life and "IT AIN"T FUNNY!!!!!!!". So that said, if you find it gross to show people putting hair, spit, and other things from the body in food, you may want to stay clear of this one. Anyone that thinks this is cool should probably be seeing a psychiatrist. Anyone that needs to get back at people by messing with their food has a problem. The only other thing it covers is guys showing their genitalia off so they can kick someone else in the butt in a game of "how orignal can I be at showing them and naming that method". Fair DVD quality and no replayability. February 4, 2008

Light On Plot, Heavy on The Funny

I think, to fully appreciate the hilarious plight of these characters, you had to have worked at either a diner or fast food place at one time in your life. Otherwise, it might be a bit hard to cheer for these guys as they do disgusting--yet always side-splittingly funny--things to the food of the rude customers. This movie manages to show the bizarre comradery, rivalry, and hilarity that happens in places such as these, exaggerating just enough on certain aspects to make the movie hilarious.

While there's enough comedy to make the back of your throat hurt from laughing, there isn't much of a plot to be spoken of. In any other case, I'd be disappointed, but this movie actually seems as if it would be better with no over-arching plot. The characters themselves all develop a little by the end of this movie, true, and one of the characters even takes a hilarious stand, but other than that, the movie is simply a really, really funny look into the day in the life of some really weird employees at a not-so-weird diner.
