07/23/2015 A film built around a series of rejected Naked Gun/Police Squad! jokes, intertwined with a series of plots that desperately try to go somewhere, but it just doesn't mesh together, as if I was watching three different movies for the price of one. See more 09/12/2014 Three young restaurant waitresses struggle to achieve greater aspirations. Mostly just a string of predictable and dated sight gags with little regard to plot development. Never really gets close to being funny and apparently a career killer too as none of the three female leads ever appeared in a credited role in the film industry again. Could be the worst in the Kaufman and Herz film catalog although there is some stiff competition for that title. See more 12/25/2011 Waitress! plays to 80s Troma's greatest strength..sheer stupidity. The jokes & antics are retarded but if you're a fan of the independent production company you're getting exactly what you came for. If you're not you've been warned. For the most part I am but more often then not I find a full movie a little too much to take. Waitress! bombards you w/ so much it's exhausting. It was about 50 minutes into this & I was finding that I had had my fill of awful jokes & insanity that I had to take a deep breath, sucked it up & trudged onward. Needless to say its low grade charms wear thin especially when you are trying to tie up plot end amongst the chaos. I found this was better done w/ Stuck on You because it's not so fevered but to be truthful there are a lot worse comedies from the era & it never hides what it truly is See more 04/22/2011 I suppose I'm predisposed to like any Lloyd Kaufman movie just because of how I feel about the guy himself. Even this one, with the levels of stupidity that it reaches, I find very charming. I don't believe I've ever seen so many jokes related to food and people dropping it. It is consistently silly all throughout and because there is a dumb joke every twenty seconds there is always something going on to entertain. See more 09/06/2010 A lot of bad jokes in this movie, and long ones too. There are a few good funny moments, but overall it's not a good movie. See more 03/02/2010 This movie was it's good moments and funny scenes, but the bad jokes overrule them. I wasn't able to watch the entire movie, but what I did see wasn't all that enjoyable, so I wouldn't recommend this movie. See more Read all reviews
