When watching this movie I noticed that it is pretty unrealistic. And was very surprised that it was based on a true story. But of course I don't know how close to the facts this movie was made. But sometimes realism isn't necessary to enjoy the movie. This was the case with Waffle Street for me.I love the movie because it was so kind and feel good. I don't care how "privileged" the main character is. I still enjoyed watching him discover himself and what he wants from life. And I was totally rooting for him to find what makes him happy and achieve his goals.The acting is pretty good. Working in food service before I never was in a situation where people were like one big happy family, but I loved watching it on screen with all coworkers of Jim bringing in their special characters and personality that helped him in his time of self discovery.I loved how it ended and am happy how this movie left me with a feeling of happiness afterwards.

Jimmy Adams is a V.P. of a $30 billion hedge fund, who loses his job and winds up working as a waiter at a very popular waffle shop. Among the madness of the 24-hour diner, Jimmy befriends Edward, an ex-con grill master who serves up not only the best grits in the business, but lessons about life, boxing, and mastering the grill...This is one of those films that is nothing more than a big warm hug. Even if you appear to be at your lowest ebb, this film will brighten your day and probably inspire you.And that's my only gripe with the film, everything feels just too safe, and even though it is based on fact, the film depicts that Adams really has nothing to worry about, even though he sacrifices a lot, because he has numerous subliminal cushions to fall back on, in case of an emergency.Everyone warms to him almost instantly, and the two characters who don't, really add nothing tho the films narrative.Glover is excellent as the Mickey/Duke homage from the Rocky films, guiding this well educated man down the common sense road.Jimmy helps everyone out, even the customers, and although his plans sound extremely delusional, his loving wife hardly ever becomes concerned about his well being.There is a hint of loss for about two minutes toward the end, but that soon subsides thanks to the bank of Dad.But it's a well made film, the restaurant scenes have genuine warmth and camaraderie that is rarely seen in recent cinema, and like I've already said, it's one of the most feelgood films I've seen in a very long time...

This movie is bad bad bad. The actng is strained and awkward. It really pains me when you can actually detect people saying their lines. And this trait is not just the main characters, but the entire cast. The story, albeit, cute, is not very believable. Now we get to the cinematography and camera work. I am not a fan of the hand camera technique. I find it unclean,, disruptive. When you are taken away from following the story by trying to get past the bad camera work. The set were cliché, and not very well thought out. I watched this film to the very end hoping it would either improve or have a good ending I am disappointed to tell you, it had neither

Serviceable at best. You have to wonder why some movies are made. They don't have any stars or new up-'n-comers, so to speak. They aren't that entertaining, original, or well acted. The characters are bland and blase, acting to boot, of course. However, you may have one well-known actor who's looking for a paycheck late in his career. Well, that's what you've got here, isn't it?We find out that Wall Street is shallow and all about the money. Wow! that's a shocker. We also find out that there are good people eaten up by this nastiness (of course that's what we've got here, thus the movie). And that there are spouses who will support these good people through thick and thin, and that there's minor self- revelations discovered on the down side of all that corrupt success, and we also learn that some good people without money come along and can teach us lessons, lessons that can only be found at the school of hard knocks, not in your local college library. And so on. Anything you haven't seen here before? Story, acting, dialogue, all rather average. Nothing to see here, folks. Same ol' same ol'. Just might want to get your waffles to go. Move along. Next!
