Waiting
No one's gonna make it big here.
A hilarious comedy about frustrated waiters, stingy tippers and dicey food, 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, 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 crazy 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.

Critic Reviews:
- " It really is a funny, witty, and suprisingly charming " – Brian Mckay
- " Rob McKittrick's debut is most successful at its simplest – unflinching in the way a lot of 20somethings talk and act in the company of friends. " – Mark Palermo
- " This movie's two goals are to be over-the-top funny and remind audience members what it feels like to be in your early 20s without a plan, and it's a complete success in both areas. " – Peter Hartlaub
