Is Waiting… great cinema? Well no, but it’s damn funny. A perfect vehicle for Ryan Reynolds, with some wonderful supporting performances, in much the same vein of his title role in National Lampoon’s Van Wilder. A nice little comedy that’s well worth checking out.
Monty (Ryan Reynolds) is the coolest guy at Shenanigan’s, an Applebee’s style restaurant. His co-workers include best friend Dean (Justin Long) who is agonizing over the state of his life, out spoken waitress Serena (Anna Faris ), timid Amy (Kaitlin Doubleday), and Naomi (Alanna Ubach ) who’s one bad tipper away from some serious carnage. We’ve also got the dorky manager Dan (David Koechner), jail-bait hostess Natasha (Vanessa Lengies), crazy chef Raddimus (Luis Guzman), the grill guru Bishop (Chi McBride), and new trainee Mitch (John Francis Daley).

One joke told over and over for ninety minutes. It may be fair to say that The Aristocrats is the funniest documentary ever made; it is easily one of the most profane. To be completely honest the film is a little uneven; there are more than a few slow points, but when the joke is given to the right comedian prepare to roll around the aisle in tears. I laughed my ass off!
