The titular waitress, Jenna (Russell), is miserable. Her husband (Sisto) is a selfish oaf and she’s just found out that she’s pregnant with his unwanted child. When her plans to leave him are thwarted, she throws herself into the arms of her new doctor (Fillion). That and making pies. Lots of pies.

| Solid slice... | |
| This indie chick flick has a lot more offer than may first appear. A simple story of a waitress, Keri Russell, who is intent on leaving her oppressive hick husband, even though she has just discovered that she is carrying his baby. Things are further complicated by her new doctor, Nathan Fillion, who she begins to have an affair with, though he too being married. This is about a woman and her desire to break free from her social restraints, with her only ally being determination. It plays out... More | |

| Waitress: Bland But I Couldn't Turn It Off. | |
| For some reason I could not turn this film off but after I was thinking why did I watch that film, It is the kind of film that I would never watch but for some reason I thought it was really good. If this was a pie it would be bland but have flavour at the same time. It's hard to explain this film, the best way to explain it is you have to watch it. I thought it was great that after a while it felt like you knew the characters and also that all the little details like days of the week were not i... More | |

| Delightful Waitress | |
| Funny, frothy, endearing, smart. Great movie. Russell deserved many awards and Fillion is a revelation for people who've never seen him. Shelley's death cost us a great, bright future filmmaker. ... More | |

| Why did i like this film? | |
| An hour and ten minutes into this movie (that's just short of 2 hours long) and I have no clue why i am still watchin this movie, let alone liking this movie. It's possibly the level of detail given to each character by the director, maybe the quirky elements i mean i've never seen so many pies or maybe even the delightful warmth that generates from this closely nit small cast. Despite not your typical rom-com of sorts, a suprisingly pleasent treat of a film. ... More | |

| A Lot Of Pies! | |
| I liked this movie, it's got more or less everything in it. Romance, comdey, serious and food! The perfomances were brilliant especially the leading lady with a hell load of problems. Up the duff with her abusive husband, has a affair with the dishy doctor and makes a hell load of pies. Funny and charming, just one word of caution: don't watch this movie without eating something. It makes you want to eat the tv screen as it's that tempting! ... More | |

| This film was ok, i felt that it wasn't very original. but very easy to watch as not much brain power needed, but with that being said, the film kept in interested and is very light hearted. ... More | |

| Fillion is great | |
| i agree with the review, i ain't usually a fan of romantic comedies, but this one was real good. It had that dark kind of humor underlaying it while remaining a really sweet story. Nathan Fillion was fantastic (as always) and Keri Russell is perfect as the everyday girl who's stuck in a really bad situation. Well worth seeing. ... More | |

| Like Fargo or Withnail & I before it, Waitress is one of those films that'll get funnier with every viewing and the extremely quotable dialogue and hilarious character idiosyncrasies all point to the fact that this is a cult classic in-waiting . The performances on show range from subtle to the outrageous. Russell wins us over very easily. she is surrounded by sound character actors whose performances elevate them above mere supporting roles: Fillion can deliver a line, Sisto shows us both ... More | |

| I thought it was OK, light hearted inoffensive fluff that I'll have probably forgotten all about by this time next week, but I'm guessing I'm not the target audience Shelly had in mind when she made the film. ... More | |

| Incredibly unbalanced review | |
| I had high hopes for this film, based on it's box office haul in the US and this review. What a letdown! It's more like a TV movie of the week, suffers from uninspired direction and a checklist of standard small town characters. The 'bad husband' is so ridiculously one dimensional, it's embarrassing and the 'comedy sidekick' waitresses (one of whom is played by the tragic director, Adrienne Shelley) are simply not funny. In fact, the film never recovers from the opening scene which is suppos... More | |
