Review of Waitress! (1982) by Shawn W — 26 Dec 2011
Waitress! plays to 80s Troma's greatest strength..sheer stupidity. The jokes & antics are retarded but if you're a fan of the independent production company you're getting exactly what you came for.
If you're not you've been warned. For the most part I am but more often then not I find a full movie a little too much to take. Waitress! bombards you w/ so much it's exhausting. It was about 50 minutes into this & I was finding that I had had my fill of awful jokes & insanity that I had to take a deep breath, sucked it up & trudged onward.
Needless to say its low grade charms wear thin especially when you are trying to tie up plot end amongst the chaos. I found this was better done w/ Stuck on You because it's not so fevered but to be truthful there are a lot worse comedies from the era & it never hides what it truly is.
