Editorial Reviews

Trapped in a miserable marriage and blessed with the ability to transform her misery into delicious desserts, a small-town waitress finds her life forever changed by an unplanned pregnancy. Every day, Jenna (Keri Russell) ties on her apron and serves her customers with a smile, and every night she goes to bed knowing that she is one step closer to the day that she can kiss her scarily domineering husband (Jeremy Sisto) goodbye forever. A smart and sassy baker whose extraordinary pies are inspired by her daily trials and tribulations, Jenna fears that her dreams are all but dead when handsome Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion) reveals that she is soon to become a mother. As Jenna begins penning a series of letters to her unborn baby, her life starts to change for the better in ways she never could have imagined. The final film from actress/filmmaker Adrienne Shelly, Waitress debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah just months after the director was discovered dead in her New York City apartment -- the victim of a homicide.

Waitress is a Gem...by Grago

November 06, 2008: Normally a romantic comedy starring Kerri Russell and the guy from Firefly (Nathan Fillion) would raise a few eyebrows before being dismissed outright. Well, don't. Waitress is moving, inspiring, emotional, funny, and all the things a great movie should be, without insulting the audience's intelligence with banal storytelling. For that Adrienne Shelly can be thanked for that, doing the triple duty of writing, directing, and even playing a nominal role exceptionally well (sadly, she was murdered in her home not long after wrap-up, so she never saw first-hand the fruits of her labor). Also, Russell and Fillion are fantastic as an emotionally-burdened soon-to-be mother with a talent for making pies and her charming, jocular doctor who loves her, respectively. But the best part of the movie may be any part including the scene-stealing Andy Griffith as Russell's boss, the owner of the pie shop she works at. As tender as every moment in the movie is, the story of a battered woman overcoming obstacles to try and find something better while learning to love her unborn child is so real and put together so wonderfully that you can't help but smile all the way through.

June 17, 2008: I must admit--I braced myself to hate this film. My husband kept mentioning that it was receiving good reviews, and, having read a bit about it myself, I agreed to see it, but my expectations were not high. I was expecting a fluffy, faux-empowering chick flick what I received was a revelation. How refreshing it was for me to see a nuanced portrayal of womanhood that did not demean or trivialize its characters. The three waitresses are allowed to be vulnerable, sexy, quirky, strong, independent, and smart without playing to some well-worn stereotype. Even the men of the film are allowed layers, which is rare to see in many "girl-power" movies. The end image of Jenna, her friends, and Jenna's little Lulu is inspiring in every sense of the word. What's more, "Waitress" deviates from the standard abused-wife-finds-true-love structure to allow Jenna to find her own way. One should not venture into viewing this film if looking for a standard romantic dramedy--"Waitress" does not allow such categorization. This is truly a testament to Adrienne Shelley's prowess with words and emotions, and it is refreshing and a little heartbreaking to know that this will be her legagcy.
