The Waitress is a sweet and sassy tale about a small town waitress who transforms her hopeless life into a hilarious and unexpected love story. As a favorite waitress at Joe's Diner, Jenna (Keri Russell) is also a "pie genius," naming her tantalizing confections after the tumultuous events and emotions of her daily life. She's hoping that one of her pastries, like her "Kick In The Pants" Pie, might even change her life -- if she can just win that $25,000 pie contest. But when Jenna discovers that she's pregnant, she immediately bakes an "I Don't Want Earl's Baby" Pie -- a quiche of egg and cheese with a smoked ham center. After all, her husband Earl (Jeremy Sisto) is a jealous jerk who is essentially a child himself and the last thing they need to do is start a family together. But the pregnancy eventually changes the course of events in her life, giving her an unexpected and newfound confidence.

This is such a great film, I felt like I was watching excerpts from person's life. The roller coaster events had me hooked in the first 10 minutes. Adrienne Shelly did a great job directing, unfortunately this is her last film. One can only imagine what she would have created if she was still with us. Definitely worth it!

So good! Unique, funny, surprising, bittersweet love story about starting fresh. So tragic that Adrienne Shelly's life was ended so early. I would have loved to watch her career unfold after this film.

This is my favorite movie of all time, so excuse me if I'm biased. If I'm ever sad, or feel like my life is falling apart, I go right to this movie. This movie also got me into the Broadway adaption of the plot. Jenna getting pregnant by a man who doesn't love her as he should while working the lowest of jobs and with no college degree makes me think that maybe I do have it together when others are living like this. So thank you for suffering Jenna, you make me feel better. Love this flick.
