![]() A hilarious comedy about frustrated waiters, stingy tippers and dicey food, Lions Gate Films’ WAITING… stars Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris and Justin Long as young employees battling boredom at ShenaniganZ, a generic chain restaurant.
A waiter for four years since high school, Dean (Justin Long) has never questioned his job at ShenaniganZ. But when he learns that Chett, a high school classmate, now has a lucrative career in electrical engineering, he’s thrown into turmoil about his dead-end life. Dean’s friend Monty (Ryan Reynolds) is in exactly the same boat, but he couldn’t care less. More concerned with partying and getting laid, Monty is put in charge of training Mitch (John Francis Daley), a shy new employee.
Over the course of one chaotic shift, Mitch gets to know the rest of ShenaniganZ’s quirky staff: Monty’s tough-talking exgirlfriend, Serena (Anna Faris); ShenaniganZ’s over-zealous manager, Dan (David Koechner); and head cook Raddimus (Luis Guzman), who’s obsessed with a senseless staff-wide competition known only as “The Game”...
Featuring lazy busboys, unsanitary kitchen antics, and lots of talk about sex, WAITING… is a hysterical, behind-the-scenes look at the restaurant industry, and an affectionate ode to those lost, and unproductive, days of youth.
