Richard Propes

It's hard to picture an actress other than Russell so beautifully blending the drama, desperation, hopefulness, sweetness, and sensuality of her character.

Adrienne Shelly's 'Waitress' is a bittersweet comedy-drama that has good intentions when it establish its romantic dilemmas, but I feel it lacks grace and emotionality. [Full review in Spanish]

The experience is enjoyable but bittersweet, because Waitress will leave you with a taste for more.

This little movie's got a lot of heart, and it's a heart that's unafraid to embrace life's littlest moments in all its forms.

...genuinely, genially funny and carries a modestly affirming moral: You have to make yourself happy and you have to be able to live with yourself.

Common Sense Says

Indie tackles tough topics but is as sweet as pie.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that although this quirky indie dramedy is ultimately heartwarming, it tackles very mature themes like spousal abuse (emotional and physical), loneliness, infidelity, and unhappiness. Protagonist Jenna's husband Earl constantly ridicules and demeans her, treating her like a possession. In one scene, he hits her in the face; other times he grabs and pushes her. Two different sets of couples commit adultery, but in one case the characters decide to part ways. In the end, the movie is very sweet and ends up being about a woman's immediate, undeniable love for her baby.
