Waiting... (2005)
Employees at a Bennigan's-like restaurant (called, creatively enough, Shenanigan's), kill time before their real lives get started. But while they wait, they'll have to deal with picky customers who want their steak cooked to order and enthusiastic managers who want to build the perfect wait staff. Luckily, these employees have effective revenge tactics.

Did you people see the same film I saw?
A lot of fun.
This movie still holds up well more than a decade later. I still laugh everytime I watch it. As a former server at a restaurant, I can definitely relate to this film (minus the spitting & ruining customer's food, though I definitely wanted to sometimes)The acting's good, the laughs are consistent, and it's a fun relatable comedy about funny frustrations in the workplace. 15 years later it's still a great classic!
If you have ever worked in a restaurant you know these characters. I have worked in restaurants for 18 years and I have worked with every character in this movie. I have been half the characters. Everything except the remake steak scene is completely accurate. I have never seen anyone messs with someone's food. I have done whip-its in the cooler, have preyed on young hostesses, partied every night and slept my way through an entire serving staff. I don't trust anyone that works or has ever worked at a restaurant that hasn't seen this movie.
Don't watch this! This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is filled with attempts at crude sexual humor. However, none of it is funny. I didn't laugh even once. It was so bad I stopped watching after about 45 minutes, and spent another minute fast forwarding through the remainder of this poor excuse for a comedy. The film is so slimy and repulsive that I lost respect for certain actors who played a role in this film such as Ryan Reynolds and Luis Guzman. Justin Long was also in it, but I'll give him a pass since his character wasn't as sleazy as the others. Ignore the 6.9 rating given to this film by IMDb users and avoid wasting 1.5 hours of your life on this. If you want something that's actually funny, watch the Naked Gun or Austin Powers.
I love this movie. It teaches you not to mess with your waiter/waitress, and to always tip. The movie focuses around Dean (Justin Long), who can get the opportunity to become assistant manager at a restaurant named ShenaniganZ. It also focuses on Monty, (Ryan Reynolds) who trains a new person at ShenaniganZ. Near the end of the movie, a girl with a very hairy "area" pulls her skirt up, and a mans "area" is pulled out of his pants. Nonstop sexual references, like the game the waiters and male cooks play, about unsuspectingly frontal mooning someone (though nothing is shown until the end). Lots of uses of the F word, especially from NaOmi. This movie is very funny, and one of my favorite movies.
