That was an excellent one.
Thanks for the memories!
Brilliant and touching
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
As my summary title says it's definitely nowhere near close to all of the laughs an raunchiness of the first one,, The only recognizable name in this movie to me was Adam Corolla , and I'm not really a big fan of his. this movie had some laughs,, and a few raunchy moments,, but the idea that our main character had to make 9000 in sales on the last day before the fiscal period ended , was totally not a good storyline,, I thought maybe something like maybe a major restaurant critic coming by to review the food, would have been better storyline. I guess there was so much from the first movie that is missing from this one,, most of the actors/actresses from the 1st one are noticeably absent from this one,, gee I wonder why, all together I would have to say that I'm "still waiting" on a better sequel so folks you can go ahead and pass on this one.
I was a big fan of Waiting. Even though I've never worked in a restaurant, I could somehow relate to the plights and pitfalls of the food service industry. A lot of that had to do with writer Rob McKittrick's great script. Now, years later, Rob has penned the sequel to his cult classic and the results, though not as satisfying as the original, are better than you might think.Still Waiting moves the action to a new Shenanigans restaurant where manager Dennis is having some problems. Not only is he having trouble with his personal life, but his restaurant is also facing a crisis. They're losing business to the newly-opened Ta-Ta's Wing Shack next door. So much business in fact that corporate is threatening to shut Dennis down unless he can meet his quarterly expectations. He has one last day to make the $9000 he needs to keep his restaurant open and maybe even get a promotion.With a new restaurant comes a new cast of characters. There's Agnew - a young waiter who's so sarcastic and hateful that he doesn't even realize he's slowly turning into a racist; His girlfriend, Allison, who just started working at Ta-Ta's; Joshua - a guy who's so overworked that he has nightmares about his job; Hank - the bartender who dreams of hitting the big time with his band; Amber - the waitress working to pay her tuition, and Mason - the young cook with a lisp who's hopelessly in love with Amber. There's also a few returning characters. Like Naomi, in all her spiteful alcoholic glory. And Calvin, who's gone from being a love-struck loser to total ladies man and manager of Ta-Ta's. Other old faces show up as well, but I don't want to spoil it for you.The characters are, sadly, not near as good as the original Shenanigan's gang. It's no fault of the actor's either, The mostly unknown cast make the best with what they've been given. The characters this time around are just not as interesting. For example, I could've done completely without the Joshua character and would've like to have seen more of the Mason-Amber mini-plot.The story is a bit weak as well. Whereas in the first film, amidst all the dirty jokes, there was a story about that point in your life where you have to ask yourself "Just where am I going?": Still Waiting doesn't seem to have anything other than the "are they gonna make enough money?" plot. You'd think they would, especially with the new girl at the Wing Shack subplot, but it's just not there.All in all, Still Waiting has it's moments. It's pretty funny and way better than the majority of direct-to-DVD sequels out there. If you loved the original, you'll probably like this one. Key word being "like".
Do not rent this movie!Liked the first movie when I caught it on TV. As a one-time waiter, I felt it was a perspective worth showing, and it had some funny moments. This sequel was HORRIBLE. Not one funny joke. After realizing that it was not going to make me laugh, I figured that at least the "unrated" version might provide some gratuitous visuals. No dice - just a single, totally non-tantalizing scene. Anybody that gives this a positive review must be affiliated with the film or distribution company. As usual, it is a pretty strong signal when the original cast does not show up to cash in on the sequel. You should stay away, too.
Loved the original, yes the first one was full of toilet humour but it was laugh out loud funny. I really rated Ryan Reynolds in "Waiting" he's almost like a new Chevvy Chase."Still Waiting" is one very nasty, even a little racist movie. It has no redeeming qualities, I barely raised a smile the whole way through it. Please don't waste your life on this muck. It's even tarnished my memory of waiting.No wonder this went straight to vid, potential funny scenes were rushed though without expanding the scene. It seems like a very lazy attempt to cash in from the fans of the first, it felt very low budget, as some have said already even felt like porn movie acting.AVOID!
