(134 reviews) Sweet as pieEverything is sweet about this movie. Jenna (Kerri Russell) lives in a small Southern town with her boorish husband Earl (Jeremy Sisto). She make great pies and works as a waitress in Joe's Pies shop.
Her two waitress colleagues have their own problems with men.
Jenna learns that she is pregnant and fears that a baby will keep her tied to her husband. The new OB/GYN in town, however, finds Jenna herself a sweet treat as well her pies and tarts.
There are a few dark moments on the way to Jenna's evolution as a feisty, independent woman. The final sequence is truly warm and cuddly.
This is not a great, earthshaking movie, but it is sweet and warm.

ADRIENNE SHELLY, OPUS 3
**** 2007. Written and directed by Adrienne Shelly. This motion picture is a very good surprise, it's a slice of Americana that transports us into the lives of three waitresses of the Deep South. The director had undoubtedly a style of her own which gave to this dramatic comedy a special flavour rather unusual in the actual American cinema, so tasteless in my opinion. If the first scenes of WAITRESS may seem a little TV show oriented with an immobile camera and too many witty dialogues per minute, the rest of the film is a little jewel of sensibility confined in a multicoloured box worthy of multiple viewings. Highly recommended. May 9, 2008
This is a mystic pizza pie of a movie
Well, surprise, surprise in a southern drawl...
This husband gives new meaning of why a wife is the first suspect in a murder.
This doctor is just a strange pie of a lover.
This owner is just a grumpy old sweet heart.
These other waitresses are just very good friends.
This poor baby is coming into a very bad place... or is it to a very good mother?
This waitress is what they mean by sugar and spice and everything nice. April 11, 2008
Ths pie is putrid
This film wants me to identify with a miserable waitress trapped in a loveless marriage and a dead-end job. I could if she had some redeeming qualities about her, but she doesn't. She's as selfish and narrow-minded as her husband. She must have found some quality attractive enough to marry him, but she isn't even trying to make the marriage work. No matter. I hated every character in this movie. I couldn't wait for it to be over. The ending was as flaky as turnover crust. Everyone should've been pie'd in the face for coming up with tripe like this.

An Emotional Cliffhanger
Waitress is sweet and funny and even poignant when you realize the director was murdered just as the film was accepted at Sundance. What really cinched it for me was how the film kept you hanging emotionally until the very end when there was plenty of much needed resolution. Keri Russell was the exact right choice for the film. I was sad it was not recognized in the industry. None of the characters had great characters, but they were all refreshingly human. April 4, 2008
