Too much of everything

Brilliant and touching

The acting in this movie is really good.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This movie is actually pretty good if you've worked in a relevant industry. The movie is from a server's perspective, and involves what they endure. Sure the customer's are over the top, and it can be a little offensive at times (Germans and gays won't like the stereotypes portrayed), but as a whole, it works. Aaron Ashmore in particular was awesome playing his cocky a-hole of a character. John Bregar is like the spitting image of Chris Evans, circa early 2000's.

I watched this film at one of the festivals. I didn't have any expectations for this film before watching and I am glad I didn't have any. Comedy is not about one liners. While wit lightens the telling, it doesn't alone make it a true comedy. The film didn't get any better till the end. Actors did what they could do to this script, otherwise the film would have been much worse. Writer and director has to first understand that even comedy has some structure to follow (like drama) and that is completely missing. This is another perfect example that shows comedy cannot be forced.Writing: 3/10, Acting: 7/10

My sister and I recently attended a preview screening of this in Toronto, I watched the trailer and knew this was going to be a simple, fun movie. It's not that I had low expectations, but I didn't set any either.I have to say I was pretty impressed with what I saw. There's no new formula here, it's revenge in the workplace, the difference is unlike the insipid "Waiting" it's fun, and tactful, not gross and unnecessary, and while it was somewhat predictable, I still enjoyed the ride and enjoyed the characters. If you've ever served time in the wait/customer service industry, than you too can relate (as I certainly did) to the tiring everyday, irritating situations and customers and strange/rude situations encountered in the industry of "dealing" with people.Kudos are also in hand for Margot Kidder (who I didn't even recognize until I saw her name in the credits) she looks great (even if she couldn't move her mouth), and as a rabid 20+ year fan of Kids In The Hall, it was a guilty pleasure, and awesome to see Dave Foley, (he still looks great, and hasn't lost a beat of the dark sarcasm that endears us to him so much). Also, loved the German corporate buyout guy (Franz), perhaps my favorite character next to Foley.A simple, thoroughly enjoyable little film. And a great Canadian export.

We went to see this movie at the Calgary International Film Festival tonight and laughed more than I've laughed in a theatre since... I can't remember when! This movie was flat-out funny from beginning to end. Basically, Josh is a waiter with a hot snobby girlfriend who is pushing him to quit his waiting job and go to law school. Josh keeps putting it off and stays perhaps just one night too long... or maybe not. In any case, hilarity ensues. This is generally just a very funny film, but you also find yourself caring enough about the characters for it to work on a slightly emotional level too. Definitely see this film! Especially if you have ever worked a service job.
