Josh B If you have ever worked in the industry during this time, you'll get all of it. If not you'll think it's just another gross out 2000's comedy. It's almost a documentary. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Giorgio S Eh,could have been better. It's the definition of nothing Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review John C Like many, I only really became - properly - aware of Ryan Reynolds after he finally got the chance to play 'Deadpool.' Since then, I've been through some of his previous work and I can't help but feel that he plays pretty much the same character (dare I say he simply plays Ryan Reynolds?!) in everything he's ever been in. I know that may sound a little dismissive of his acting ability, but all I can think of is that old phrase 'if it ain't broke... don't fix it!' And Ryan Reynolds' act is very watchable and keeps bringing in the money at the Box Office. Here, he plays - arguably - another version of himself (or Deadpool, depending on how you want to look at it) who's the oldest waiter in a restaurant filled with younger staff. The film follows a day in the life of the team as they do their best to deal with their own personal problems and - more importantly - the dreaded customers. If you're thinking 'this sounds a little bit like Kevin Smith's Clerks' then you're probably right. There are some definite similarities. It's very low budget and has a real 'raw' feel about it, plus the jokes are generally generated through how staff deal with awful customers in restaurants (but most gags work if you've worked in any job that's 'customer-facing'). Despite definitely being classed as a 'comedy' I wouldn't say there are that many 'side-splitting' moments, however I found I sat tight with a decent-size smile on my face throughout the ninety minute run-time. The humour is also quite 'adult' so expect 'American Pie' levels of humour. It's definitely a 'Ryan Reynolds' film and its success relies heavily on his sheer natural charm and likability. Anna Farris is about the other main name you'll recognise, but she does seem a little underused for what she's capable of bringing to a comedy film. Overall, if you've ever worked in a job that involves dealing with the public, you'll sympathise with the waiters/waitresses you meet here. It's a decent enough comedy that definitely has more 'hit' jokes than misses. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Millicent M Takes me back to the days in restaurants, I knew a character exactly like each of those on the movie. Very realistic in a condensed sort of way. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Condor C Worst movie I've seen for a long time Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Jive T Such a hilarious flick. If you've ever worked in food service, you HAVE to watch this movie! It's unapologetically vulgar which in this day and age is a breath of fresh air. A lot of memorable scenes that will have you revisiting this gem! Great cast too! Ryan Reynolds in his prime (Van Wilder anyone?), the ever so talented Luis Guzman(Boogie Nights is the lick!), Anna Faris fresh off her Scary Movie come up, the gorgeous Emmanuelle Chriqui, Jordan Ladd, Kaitlin Doubleday, the oh so funny David Koechner, and more. Alanna Ubach had me in stitches as the disgruntled employee that's just fed up with everything, but he enough in her to put a perfect fake smile on for her annoying customers! The movie is a laugh riot. I highly recommend! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
