Waiting Movie Review 2005

Any laughs that might have been squeezed from this comedy set at ShenaniganZ--an eatery more mall-generic than a blend of Bennigan's and Applebee's--have been derailed by the genuinely pathetic lives of the staff and their patrons. Solid cast, led by Reynolds, is given table scraps in the form of predictable food pranks and self-loathing gags.
