Review of Waiting... (2005) by Johnny T — 07 Mar 2011
Lots of people will leave screenings of this movie in disgust -- and laughter is the last thing they will hear on the way out. The young cast members, including Justin Long and Ryan Reynolds, are often spirited and funny, and restaurantgoers are left with a valuable lesson. Many of the dilemmas that are established never pay off, and there is no clear protagonist or antagonist. To make matters even murkier, the movie is poorly shot in visually uninteresting locations with constant soft focus. For every gag that flies there are at least one-and-a-half that don't. That said, it's also damn funny. Waiting... is only intermittently funny, but when it is, it's hilarious.
VERDICT: "Matinée" - (Mixed reaction). These kinds of movies are usually movies that had some good things, but some bad things kept it from being amazing. This rating says to pay matinée prices to see at a theatre or buy an ex rental or a cheap price the DVD to own.
