Leave your thoughts about Waiting....
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealRyan Reynolds is one of the funniest men alive. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenA witless farce about working at a chain restaurant that belongs in a circle of gross-out hell somewhere below Porky's and slightly above Jenny McCarthy's Dirty Love. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.It made me laugh. Out loud, a lot, and wildly, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfLooking like a high school drama project made for a couple of twenties over a long weekend, Waiting is labored and rarely funny. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayDespite its flaws, it really is a funny, witty, and suprisingly charming slob comedy |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashWaiting is a completely juvenile, ridiculous movie filled with frat boy humor that just happens to be very funny. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithSome jokes hit their mark, but mostly in "Waiting%u2026," what you're really waiting for is inspiration. |
| Houston ChronicleBruce WestbrookThe cast compensates by serving steaming-hot plates of gonzo enthusiasm, kicking things along with unhinged gusto even when Waiting stalls in anecdotal nothingness. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghMcKittrick's relentless vulgarity is wearing, but he's a strong visualist who keeps his shoestring-budget film looking fresh. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubLots of people will leave screenings of this movie in disgust -- and laughter is the last thing they will hear on the way out. |
