not nearly as good as when I watched it in 11 parts on YouTube on my iPod touch in 2006

Avery EdisonJun 20, 2014I'm not a waiter, but I work in and around a kitchen and, by God, is this movie terrifyingly accurate.

I pity every single person who finds Ryan Reynolds funny.

A rather dated comedy that probably wouldn't go over well with many people today. Yes, one may tolerate the raunchiness of that age, when the humour was vulgar and problematic to a fault, but it's also a picture that seeks to entertain rather than offend, and in that case…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineAug 5, 2023i was waiting… for this thing to end
ram<3Aug 22, 2018Wantonly ugly, misogynistic, and homophobic, which no amount of real world accuracy regarding the service industry can make up for. Sure, there are a few laughs (and a ton of super young stars, including a supernaturally smarmy Ryan Reynolds), but my God I get it: working…

Amazing movie!! Have a couple of drinks and enjoy!!! Almost too relatable 🫣 Perfect Saturday night!! Cheers 🍻
Julie Dolinsky lovedWaiting...If you’ve ever worked in food service, you worked with people EXACTLY like this. Ryan Reynolds’ dry and dark humor is next level. Deadpool in the making. The supporting cast is just as hilarious. “The Cardinal Rule: Don’t f*** with people that handle your food.” 😅 #karenstakenote
el is "meh" onWaiting...maybe its because I’ve never worked a restaurant job but this was just kinda bland. no real plot. if it wasnt for ryan i wouldve turned it off sooner

Really not much to say about it, it was fine I guess, personally I didn't like how the whole movie took place over a span of one day, and there was basically no romance building, no "stakes," no nothing, it just felt like a movie...a mid movie, wish there was more action involved
sky dislikedWaiting...horribly misled by a clip on tiktok LOL. still love ryan reynolds though
sevi likedWaiting...shi is funny asf

CanadianZar is "meh" onWaiting...It’s definitely an early 2000s movie with all the words that are now banned in the current present time. This movie is a basic comedy from that time, not much of a story and basically all the classic comedy actors you could name of. Had some funny moments but not very memorable.
Skye Summer likedWaiting...It's so stupid and has crude early 2000s humor, but it's the most accurate representation I've seen of working in food service. It's genuinely awful and depressing. All the characters in the movie feel real because I've worked with people like them at one time or another.

There's real potential in the premise of young, unmotivated screw-ups logging time at a dead-end restaurant job--a hash-slinging Office Space, basically--but first-time writer-director Rob McKittrick makes it look like a homemade sitcom laced with profanity.
Scott Tobias
The A.V. Club
The wait for laughs lasts the entire length of Waiting ..., first feature from writer-director Rob McKittrick that aims to be a Clerks-type comedy set in a chain restaurant but ends up somewhere below a Porky's sequel.
