Waiting






If you have ever been a waiter/waitress, you will like this movie.
If you love Empire Records, you will like this movie.

If both of the above statements pertain to you, you will really like this movie.



Waiting is the film about a bunch of people who work at a "Fridays" like restaurant, and it's actually pretty funny. It is quite raunchy, so I wouldn't suggest letting the kids watch it, mostly because they wouldn't get it and would start imitating it, which is more than likely something parents won't appreciate.

But if you want a good laugh and are open to watching what I have deemed "Empire Records in a Restaurant", I would recommend it. It's worth the rental.

Night At The Museum

Well this one was a big let down.

I like Ben Stiller, but this was just too stupid. I can see how it would be popular for a family movie since there is nothing raunchy about it or anything like that but i was just candy coated crap. It was the same old special effects that hollywood has been using since Jumanji and it was equally as unimpressive.

If you have some kids, it may be a wise rental, but wait until it's real cheap before you buy it... It's definitely not worth the $20 they're charging at the stores unless your kids really like it.

But if you don't have kids, don't bother.
