WAITRESS

Posted: 3/18/08 at 1:05pm

I just re-watched this indie gem and it is even more endearing and affecting on DVD...definitely worth buying.

I just love this movie so much. It was probably my favorite movie of 2007 although it wasn't the best. I just loved every second of it and found it to be almost flawless. It should be the model for any future chick-flick/rom-com's. It's sweet and romantic and funny but also incredibly touching and moving. Keri Russell deserved an Oscar nod, I thought it should have been nominated for Best Picture, and its spectacularly written screenplay should have won this year's Oscar. I just love, love, love this movie and I hope other people feel the same. It's such a joyous experience in every light and is the perfect definition of a feel-good movie...even though it's more of a feel-GREAT movie.

Anyone else love WAITRESS and wish that Shelly was still around to make more fantastic films like this? She was a filmmaker who definitely would have left her mark on movie-making, I think.

I actually just saw it for the first time this weekend. I was really impressed. My mom found it slow in places when she watched it, but I thought it was great.

I like it a lot, I have to say it has some flaws and drags a little at the end, but it is better then most films released today

I haven't seen the video, but I did see it in the theater when it was out---one of the few on the big screen I actually made a point of seeing!

I actually saw it in December last year. I think I'll watch it again.

I thought it was pretty good, but a little cheesy at times. I found out about the whole Adrienne Shelley thing right after I saw it, and that really brought me down about it. I haven't been able to watch it since.

I really didn't like it, but I'm willing to give it another go, because everyone else seems to agree that it's such a great movie.

I loved WAITRESS.

It's become my favorite movie of all time.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I thought it was OK but sort of an updated "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore."
