![]() Tagline: If only life were as easy as pie.
“I don’t need no baby. I don’t want no trouble. I just want to make pies. That’s all I wanna do. Make pies.” -- Jenna in WAITRESS
An audience hit at the Sundance Film Festival, WAITRESS serves up a sweet, sassy and delicious slice of life tale -- as it reveals the power of friendship, motherhood and the willingness to take a chance. It’s the story of a small town woman who transforms her hopeless life into a hilarious and unexpected love story.
This vibrantly different romantic comedy is the final film from writer / director Adrienne Shelly. Starring in the title role, Keri Russell (Mission: Impossible III, The Upside of Anger, Felicity) leads a dynamic cast as a diner waitress stuck in a lousy marriage whose only solace is baking out-of-this-world pies.
When the awkwardly charming new Ob-Gyn, Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion, Serenity), comes to town, she’s inspired to mix-master her life into something far more satisfying. WAITRESS will surely do for pie making what Sideways did for Pinot Noir.
