Waiting... (I) (2005)
4/10
2nd Rate script, no story or point
11 November 2008
I cant understand how someone that takes the time to refer to IMDb for movie info, can think this is a movie worth paying to watch.

It was recommended to me by a friend. I have stopped listening to his movie recommendations.

The basic idea is that someone who worked as a waiter, has taken the time to write down all the horror stories/ urban kitchen legends down, and then stapled the pages together. Job Done, well done lads thats another script for the movie making machine to churn out.

No story, no plot, just a string of anecdotes. I don't mind this. If its done well. Pulp fiction for example, is a superb film. Well executed script keeps you interested despite the fact there is no great point or conclusion. The acting is unspectacular.

The "game" played by the staff is milked and massaged to fill the cavernous gaps in the story. The game could have been explained in 3 minutes, not used to bring the movie to the usual 90 minute attention span and bladder limit of most movie go-ers.

In short, if you are channel hopping, and happen to come across it, and there is nothing else on, then watch it. Or better still, have a sleep. Just don't pay actual money to watch it.
