Were the dialogue funnier and the characters more endearing, the film's total lack of forward momentum would be a winning quality...

| Apr 28, 2020

Pretty much everything that happens, and everyone who appears, seems to have been machine-tooled to appeal to the slacker constituency.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 3, 2006

Frequently offensive and doggedly disgusting.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Oct 29, 2005

The funniest scene is also the saddest: The kitchen crew, having cleaned up, watching the clock like New Year's, goes nuts when a couple is seated a minute before closing. This is pain.

You can do gross-out stuff and be funny, but it has to have some decent dialogue and characters.

Full Review | Oct 11, 2005

As in waiting for it to be over.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 7, 2005

A puerile excuse for humour, perfectly described by one of the characters, in a rare moment of insight, as 'an exercise in retarded homophobic futility.'

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 7, 2005

McKittrick's relentless vulgarity is wearing, but he's a strong visualist who keeps his shoestring-budget film looking fresh.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 7, 2005

This movie's two goals are to be over-the-top funny and remind audience members what it feels like to be in your early 20s without a plan, and it's a complete success in both areas.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 7, 2005

The sophomorically crude comedy Waiting... confirms your worst suspicions about both the staff in chain restaurants -- and indie filmmakers desperate to be noticed.

Rob McKittrick's sour debut is such an obvious candidate for the direct-to-video shelf, someone will surely be demoted for sending it into actual theaters.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 7, 2005

The movie is a clumsy and uninspired mess.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 7, 2005

The cast compensates by serving steaming-hot plates of gonzo enthusiasm, kicking things along with unhinged gusto even when Waiting stalls in anecdotal nothingness.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 7, 2005

Between a couple of funny scenes and a bunch of unfunny gags, there's not much going on in Waiting ....

Full Review | Oct 7, 2005

If you're looking for a hefty serving of rude fun with a side of light meaning, order up Waiting.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Oct 7, 2005

It lays out a hearty, all-you-can-laugh buffet, served by some very fresh, in both senses of the word, waitstaff.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 7, 2005

Teenage boys will be in heaven. All others: Check, please.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 7, 2005

Endlessly, tediously, mind-meltingly worthless.

Full Review | Original Score: F | Oct 6, 2005

The cast sells the occasional one-liner, but a Reynolds smirk can take you only so far.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 6, 2005

It's lewd, crude and socially irredeemable.
