Waitress

Jenna is a pregnant, unhappily married waitress in the deep south. She meets a newcomer to her town and falls into an unlikely relationship as a last attempt at happiness.

Starring: Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Cheryl Hines, Andy Griffith, Jeremy Sisto

Saw this movie today and it was fantastic. I would almost put it up there in the Little Miss Sunshine level as a surprise movie that is funny, has great heart and great performances.

Keri Russell is amazing in this, and while I used to watch Felicity with my wife all the time, she didn't seem like the same Felicity character. She was just great. And Nathan Fillion from Firefly was just himself and I loved it.

Fun story, great writing and unique.

It was also directed by Adrienne Shelly, who was killed in New York before this film was ever released. It is a pretty sad story.

This is a really terrific movie. The wife brought it home last night and I reluctantly watched it with her, but it turned out to be really good.

Great cast.

Great movie. Who knew Kerri Russell could even act? That was definitely one of the better movies of the year IMO.

Is it a movie my wife would like if she's into easy love stories with a happy ending?

Recently watched it. Loved it. Nathan Fillion's delivery was hilarious. His line - "I have no response to that" actually made me LOL. Great characters in this one.

This movie is awesome! It definitely goes in my top 10.

Do ya'll remember hearing about Adrienne Shelley back before the movie was released? She played Dawn in the movie and also wrote and directed the movie. So tragic!

Oh, and Louis, the Namesake was a great movie. So much better than I expected.

I saw this about a month ago, wasn't too fond of it, but a funny story:

I was at Denny's about 2 days after seeing it (Rural and 60) around 6am before work, and there were some guys in town that were carpenters here in town for some movie set stuff they were doing (and eating nachos btw).

Anyways, two of them got into it about movies sets they've done, and one guy tells the other that he worked in New Mexico and would never make it to Hollywood, and bashed him for working on the set for The Waitress, it was funny.

"Baby don't cry, time to make the pie..." LOL
