I reccomend you see it, very funny indeed!
<b>Amazon.com's synopsis:</b> A hilarious comedy about frustrated waiters, stingy tippers and dicey food, Lions Gate Films' WAITING... stars Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris and Justin Long as young employees battling boredom at Shenanigan's, a generic chain restaurant. A waiter for four years since high school, Dean (Justin Long) has never questioned his job at Shenanigan's. But when he learns that Chett, a high school classmate, now has a lucrative career in electrical engineering, he's thrown into turmoil about his dead-end life. Dean's friend Monty (Ryan Reynolds) is in exactly the same boat, but he couldn't care less. More concerned with partying and getting laid, Monty is put in charge of training Mitch (John Francis Daley), a shy new employee. Over the course of one chaotic shift, Mitch gets to know the rest of Shenanigan's quirky staff: Monty's tough-talking ex-girlfriend, Serena (Anna Faris), Shenanigan's over-zealous manager, Dan (David Koechner), and head cook Raddimus (Luis Guzman), who's obsessed with a senseless staff-wide competition known only as "The Game"... Featuring crazy busboys, unsanitary kitchen antics, and lots of talk about sex, WAITING... is a hysterical, behind-the-scenes look at the restaurant industry, and an affectionate ode to those lost, and thoroughly unproductive, days of youth.
The funny thing about "the game" is that now I pull the prank on my friends who've seen the movie. Yeah, it's a little twisted, but nothing beats the expression on someone's face when, well, watch the movie. This movie is hillarious.

Note: Each time I change my sig with another movie shot, I'll make a post about why you should see that movie. If the idea gets old, I'll stop making posts, but hey, why not?
Previous sig:
 Which, I hope you've seen Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas. It loosely fits the theme of this forum.

I like that movie, but really because I'm a waiter.
some people just don't understand that you don't fuck with people who are in charge of what you eat.
I've had tables far worse than the ones in that movie, but I wouldn't ever do anything to their food, but I can only speak for myself.
always tip your waiter people

I have been meaning to rent that. I have worked in the restaurant industry for 10 years, so I can definitely relate. At least I have a college degree, but yeah, I need to see that.

Awesome movie, reminds me of Clerks. I didn't really like the stoner characters though.
