About this movie

Always remember the cardinal rule of eating out: Never mess with people who handle your food! Ryan Reynolds (VAN WILDER), Anna Farris (the SCARY MOVIE series) and Justin Long (DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY) star in this hilarious comedy about the band of mischievous waiters, waitresses and cooks just waiting to show guests how extraordinary the service at ShenaniganZ restaurant can be.

Ratings and reviews

I have worked in the restaurant industry so this film was recommended by several colleagues. The movie did have several funny scenes but it wasn't all that great as i had expected from several recommendations. It is good to at least see it once and get a good laugh.

Ultimately this movie was made for those in the service industry. It is an exaggerated, though still largely accurate depiction of what it is like to work in a volume casual dining restaurant. It is very cheeky and tasteless and may not appeal to many outside the industry.

Worked many years in restaurants waiting tables and bartending and this movie takes me back to those days. Hilarious and brilliantly written. A must see for anyone who has served time in a restaurant!
