| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
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 Shenanigan’s, a generic chain restaurant.
A waiter for four years since high school, Dean (Justin Long)
has never questioned his job at Shenanigan’s. 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 Renolds)
is in exactly the same boat, but he couldn’t care less.
More concerned with partying and getting laid by underage
girls, 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 Shenanigan’s quirky
staff: Monty’s tough-talking ex-girlfriend, Serena (Anna
Faris), Shenanigan’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 stoned 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 thoroughly unproductive, days of youth.
