Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
personalfacebook Oh man, this was horrible. I NEVER laughed. I recognized several of the same gags from the first movie but just not done as well. You liked the characters in the first one. They were well developed and and fun. I didn't like ANY of the characters in this movie. A few of the old actors were brought back but they're not really the same characters. Agnew, the lead character, is a real tool and you always dislike him.How is it possible that the same person who wrote this wrote the first one? Save yourself some time and mow the yard, wash the dog, or get a colonic. All would be better time spent and more enjoyable.
negroluvkfc We all know this is a hack direct to video sequel; but they would not have made it were there no demand for it. They did a thoughtful and earnest if not flawed job with a large ensemble cast. Not everything worked. It never does. This production was pack with improv people. There were funny lines. But by far the things I found most enjoyable, as a restaurant worker, were the phenomena I deal with everyday. I say this about the original as much as this sequel.Instead of listing every example, I will focus on the performance of Justin Long. He has subsequently disowned this performance in an interview with Peter Travers, something I will discuss later in the review.-After this point there are Spoilers- In the first film, Justin Longs character Dean comes to a self realization and quits. His "ball showing game," as the movie puts it. And this from the sage, weird old black dishwasher.We catch up with Dean at the end of the fi;m, the fabled "District Manager," now an oxycontin/internet porn addicted, alcoholic, jaded prisoner of Sheninigans. He is trapped, despite his attempts to flee. This is all part of a monologue at the bar, capped off with him not paying for his drink. Top Dog at Shenanigans, to be sure.I've seen this a thousand times. Yet Justin Long, in the Peter Travers interview, say he is embarrassed by having anything to do with this movie. It was beneath him, apparently. Perhaps he felt like he sold out, trading his credibility as an artist for something akin to catering to the interests of money and bad taste. Perhaps.Peter Travers then immediately makes reference to the Mac/PC commercials in which Justin Long features so prominently. Perhaps he was thinking about the immortal words of Bill Hicks when he spoke about corporate shills and how they lost any credibility as an artist. I cannot help looking down on Justin Long for his promotion of an organization that keeps millions enslaved and tens of millions mesmerized by plastic playthings. In essence, he has become the cliché he portrayed in Still Waiting.. and is doubly a hypocrite.
KineticSeoul This movie basically took everything that was good about the first one and made it less interesting and engaging. The cameos was okay just not that great and sort of pointless with the return of some the cast from the first movie, in fact this sequel is pointless. Rob McKittrick the writer for the film even admitted he had no idea what to write about for the plot, the first movie didn't really have a plot but this one was just way more random and ridiculous and just too over the top. In fact Rob if you see him in the behind the scenes is a dick himself and one cocky guy after a decent success of his first movie. The first "Waiting.." was great because it is something that a lot of people that worked in a restaurant can relate with, this isn't the case for the sequel. So it basically continues the adventures of the waiting staff at Shenaniganz restaurant after two years later, except now they are having sort of a competition with the new Ta-Ta's Wing Shack restaurant where some of the old team members work now, which is basically like Hooters or Twin Peaks. They got the team members from the first movie back but not all of them and the new team members in the restaurants isn't as likable. As a matter of fact they don't have the two main actors from the first movie that took the spotlight back, which is Monty(Ryan Reynolds) and Floyd(Dane Cook). And basically replaced Monty with Agnew(Stever Howey) who is a dick in real life and in the movie as well, but he isn't a likable dick like Ryan Reynolds was, but I will admit his stereotyping jokes were actually kinda funny. The first movie had a lot of toilet humor and stuff was just random, and there is a lot of toilet humor in this one as well but it just isn't as engaging or as entertaining. Chris Williams is sort of a replacement of Floyd, but just comes off as a prick that should have had something bad happen to him at the end. It was interesting to find out that Mason and Agnew is real people and Rob took down the stupid stuff they said and got it into writing for this movie. It's a weak sequel overall and the cast wasn't as likable, it's not terrible though and I guess it's worth seeing if you really enjoyed the first "Waiting...". The main highlight of this movie though is the Ta-Ta's Wing Shack girls, Amanda Loncar was hot.4.6/10
Chad Stobbe Great movie, granted, not as good as the original but definitely worth the watch. Almost everyone from the first makes an appearance in the film, great 'reverse roles' and carry over humor without beating the same jokes to death... HOWEVER, there is a bit of a problem with this DVD... I purchased this DVD and after just 4 times of viewing the movie the DVD started to have issues and got stuck in loops while playing, mainly looping on the 'lionsgate films' opening screen... I've never experience this issue with a DVD before and had a chance to try it in 5 other DVD players with the same issue on all of them, and considering that the DVD is 2 days old and in PERFECT condition I can only assume this was an issue with the printing/creation of this DVD. I've contacted the DVD manufacturer and received no response and feel that anyone wanting to see this movie might be better off renting it rather than purchasing a DVD that may or may not work after the first week...
