Still Waiting... (2009)

Very Cool!!!

Simply A Masterpiece

Absolutely Brilliant!

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This movie is compromised of nothing but racist and sexist jokes that do nothing except make you cringe at the abnormality of it all. The only returning characters from its predecessor are all the unwelcome ones that never got a laugh the first time around. It seems that these actors had had no other options since their talent was so limited in the first place that they just had to take what was given to them. That was a talentless, worthless, and laughter-less script.The only part that was worthy of laughter was in the final thirty minutes of the film where a funny and accomplished actor decided (for whatever reason) to come back for the sequel and give the only laughs of the movie. When his cameo was over, so was the movie.This goes to show that Hollywood will do whatever it takes to make a sequel out of a movie that really didn't need one just to see if any money could be made out of it, which has been done many times before. This one shows that without the correct cast and script that nothing could be made well.

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.

While this one was not as good as i expected it was okay. Didn't like the whole set up of two different diners and how they set the "plot" of the movie also i enjoyed the first movie much better with the original characters. Most of the movie was about Shenaniganz and Ta-Ta's competing and how Shenaniganz has to make a $9000.00 day. And how most of the movie is that the New Manager of Shenaniganz is trying to become district manager...I also wish a lot of the characters from the first are still in this one i do not like some of the new people they have in this movie and how they act. And i don't like how much they changed Calvin either. This film over all was not a 10 but it is worth the watch...So enjoy it for what its worth.
