Jenna is unhappily married, squirreling away money, and hoping to win a pie-baking contest so, with the prize money, she'll have enough cash to leave her husband Earl. She finds herself pregnant, which throws her plans awry. She bakes phenomenal pies at Joe's diner, listens to old Joe's wisdom, tolerates her sour boss Cal, is friends with Dawn and Becky (her fellow waitresses), and finds a mutual attraction with the new doctor in town. As the pregnancy advances, life with Earl seems less tolerable, a way out less clear, and the affair with the doctor complicated by his marriage. What options does a waitress have?
Leave your thoughts about Waitress.
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternThe writer-director Adrienne Shelly, who died in New York City late last year at the age of 40, took such perishable ingredients as wit, daring, poignancy, whimsy and romance, added passionate feelings plus the constant possibility of joy, decorated her one-of-a-kind production with pastel colors and created something close to perfection. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleWaitress deserves an essay, not just a review. There are perfect moments that stand out, and the reasons for their perfection are interesting. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesTeresa BudasiWe can only take comfort in the little slice of heaven she left behind. |
| Boxoffice MagazineRay GreeneWaitress is a real actor's movie, with each part written with great elan to have its own psychology and even its own dialect. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatDoes what a great romantic comedy should do: steal your heart and send you on your way rejoicing. One of the best films of the year. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealWriter/director Adrienne Shelly's "Waitress" serves up a slice of movietime heaven. |
| Hollywood.comBrian MarderWaitress is exclusively about the female point of view which is quite refreshing. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesA delicious little movie that will have you savoring every tasty morsel. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthInconsistent overtones lean precariously close to cute yet manage to surge both poignant and wistful. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinLook, Waitress is no groundbreaker, and it's not likely to change anyone's life. But it provides a showcase for Russell, who knows how to make the most of it. |
