Come and have fun before Christmas: "'Waitress is
a fine piece of movie making…an engaging and highly
likable comedy performed by a cast who really seem to be
enjoying themselves." Film4.
The real-life tragedy of Adrienne Shelly's murder last
November is in complete contrast to this funny, charming
tale of Jenna, who, stuck in a marriage to a man she loathes,
inconveniently pregnant with his child, oppressed by long
hours waiting on tables for a grouchy boss, finds relief
in baking pies. Shelly keeps us laughing through all the
tough and tender twists and turns of her emotional roller-coaster.
"A perfect, difficult-to-achieve
balance of enchantment and plausibility."
A.O.Scott, New York Times
