"Waiting... ," a bottom-feeding dumb comedy about the wild 'n' crazy shenanigans that go on at a bar and grill called Shenaniganz (!), is supposed to make you never want to go to a restaurant again. Instead, it makes you never want to go to a movie again. Read the full review
A waiter for four years since high school, Dean has never questioned his job at Shenanigan's, a generic chain restaurant. But when he learns that 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 is in exactly the same boat, but he couldn't care less.

"If you choose to go, you're on your own."

"Although we do learn the downside of sending back a meal at Shenanigan's — a no-win proposition for the patron — surely it is still safe to reject a movie, isn't it?"
