Amazon.com: Much like the films of Hal Hartley, Waitress is funny in a deadpan sort of way, but a sadness lurks below the surface. After making a splash in Hartley's The Unbelievable Truth and Trust, Adrienne Shelly turned to directing with Sudden Manhattan and I'll Take You There. Set in a small Southern town, her third picture revolves around waitress Jenna (Felicity's radiant Keri Russell), who works at Joe's Pie Diner (Joe is played by Andy Griffith). Jenna is the pastry genius who makes Joe's joint shine. Her co-workers include the forthright Becky (Cheryl Hines, Curb Your Enthusiasm) and insecure Dawn (Shelly). All three have man trouble, but Jenna has it the worst. Her husband, Earl (Jeremy Sisto, Six Feet Under), treats her like a piece of property. When she finds out she's pregnant, Jenna fears she'll be stuck with him forever. Then, she develops a crush on her married obstetrician, Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion, Serenity). With the aid of her fanciful confections, like peachy keen tarts, their flirtation develops into a full-blown affair. It appears to be a no-win situation, but Shelly finds an empowering way to bring this bittersweet story to a close. If the candy-colored conclusion plays more like fantasy than reality, it's a fantasy worth embracing. Sadly, Shelly was murdered before Waitress ever saw the light of day (leaving behind a husband and child of her own). Fortunately, her final film is far more life-affirming than morose, although it does end with the word 'goodbye.' --Kathleen C. Fennessy Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - An endearing and enduring chick flick guys can like Waitress is my wife's favorite movie, so ... I've watched it about four times. It gets better with every viewing. The characters and storyline are charming and the message heartwarming. Beyond a great ensemble cast, Andy Griffith is brilliant as a doddering owner of the café. Like every chick flick, Waitress has an obnoxious man as the antagonist. (Probably the ultimate chick flick is Chicago, which is, after all, about women who killed men. Great musical though.) Earl, as the husband ... Read More Rating: - Very pleased Thank you for sending my DVD so quickly. Will use your service agian in the future. Rating: - All the right ingredients! I loved this movie. I really loved this movie. In Waitress, Keri Russell plays Jenna, a small-town Southern woman stuck in a loveless marriage. Her control-freak husband won't buy her a car (he doesn't want her to go anywhere), and he systematically collects her paycheck and tips each week so she won't have enough money to leave him. In addition to waiting tables at Joe's Pie Shop, Jenna creates a daily special pie. All of her pies are delicious (her co-workers call her a "pie genius"), and ... Read More Rating: - "Baby, Don't You Cry." Tender Romance Movie That Will Make You Love Pie. Writer-director-star-songwriter Adrienne Shelly's final movie is a bittersweet romance film that will make you fall in love with Keri Russell (if you haven't already) and pie. There's not a false note in this sensuous (figuratively speaking) drama of a young waitress named Jenna (Keri Russell; TV's "Felicity") who is trapped in an abusive relationship with her loser s.o.b. husband Earl (Jeremy Sisto; the abysmal and blasphemous made-for-TV film "Jesus"). I won't give the plot away, though. Watch for Andy ...
