The employees in a downtown branch of a restaurant chain struggle to get through the working day as they contend with boredom, obnoxious customers, a control-freak manager and an eccentric head chef. Meanwhile, a waiter fears life is passing him by, and the boss is consumed with lust for an employee who is not yet 18. Comedy, starring Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, Luis Guzman and Justin Long
Waiting... is a 2005 American independent comedy-drama film written and directed by Rob McKittrick (in his directorial debut) and starring Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, and Justin Long. McKittrick wrote the screenplay while working as a waiter. The film is about employees at a Bennigan's-like restaurant (called, creatively enough, Shenaniganz), killing time before their real lives get started. But while they wait, they'll have to deal with picky customers who want their steak cooked to order and enthusiastic managers who want to build the perfect wait staff. Luckily, these employees have effective revenge tactics. A sequel entitled Still Waiting... was released on February 17, 2009. The second film is about another Shenaniganz location dealing with new competition from a Hooters-like sports bar called TaTa's Wing Shack run by Calvin from the first movie.
