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.

Call the understudy / I can't go on tonight / I'm drinking with my buddy / I'm getting good and tight / Before they raise the curtain I'll be higher than a kite / So call the understudy
I can't go on tonight

Posted: 3/18/08 at 9:23pmI 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!

Posted: 3/18/08 at 9:28pmI 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.

Posted: 3/18/08 at 11:01pmI 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.

"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."
