Waitress
I've already done three other reviews today (my fault for putting them off), so this one is gonna be short.
Great Acting:
- Nathan Fillion with a slight depature from his normal style (with enough of the old style still there to make him charming and funny)
- Great work from Keri Russell (kind of sad that I haven't seen her in more stuff)
- Andy Griffith as a cranky old man. 81 years old and still going strong.
- And a good job by the rest of the supporting cast.
Great Story:
- Depressing and funny all in one. There seriously parts to make you laugh and cry.
- Haven't seen too many other films about making pies in a diner, so I have to give points for originality.
- Even the awkward funny parts worked for me in this film (I'm still up in the air over Napoleon Dynamite because of the constant awkwardness of the whole film).
Intangibles:
- Indi films always seem to have a certain charm to them, and this one is no exception.
- There are some very strange pies developed in the film, yet they all sound like they'd be quite good.
- Does have a strong chance of making you crave pie after you leave the theatre. This isn't always a good thing at 11:30 at night when most places aren't open anymore. So be warned, and plan in advance.
RATING: Go See It. It's Good.
