Esteban D Nov 11 Tag line says something like "Steel Magnolias' made you cry, but 'Waiting for the Light' will make you laugh!". There was absolutely nothing funny in this film, it was stupid and boring. A waste of time. See more 12/15/2013 Some parts are funny but it drags on See more 11/22/2012 Good story. So true to life.
