Really Surprised!
Lack of good storyline.
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
This movie is compromised of nothing but racist and sexist jokes that do nothing except make you cringe at the abnormality of it all. The only returning characters from its predecessor are all the unwelcome ones that never got a laugh the first time around. It seems that these actors had had no other options since their talent was so limited in the first place that they just had to take what was given to them. That was a talentless, worthless, and laughter-less script.The only part that was worthy of laughter was in the final thirty minutes of the film where a funny and accomplished actor decided (for whatever reason) to come back for the sequel and give the only laughs of the movie. When his cameo was over, so was the movie.This goes to show that Hollywood will do whatever it takes to make a sequel out of a movie that really didn't need one just to see if any money could be made out of it, which has been done many times before. This one shows that without the correct cast and script that nothing could be made well.
I was a big fan of Waiting. Even though I've never worked in a restaurant, I could somehow relate to the plights and pitfalls of the food service industry. A lot of that had to do with writer Rob McKittrick's great script. Now, years later, Rob has penned the sequel to his cult classic and the results, though not as satisfying as the original, are better than you might think.Still Waiting moves the action to a new Shenanigans restaurant where manager Dennis is having some problems. Not only is he having trouble with his personal life, but his restaurant is also facing a crisis. They're losing business to the newly-opened Ta-Ta's Wing Shack next door. So much business in fact that corporate is threatening to shut Dennis down unless he can meet his quarterly expectations. He has one last day to make the $9000 he needs to keep his restaurant open and maybe even get a promotion.With a new restaurant comes a new cast of characters. There's Agnew - a young waiter who's so sarcastic and hateful that he doesn't even realize he's slowly turning into a racist; His girlfriend, Allison, who just started working at Ta-Ta's; Joshua - a guy who's so overworked that he has nightmares about his job; Hank - the bartender who dreams of hitting the big time with his band; Amber - the waitress working to pay her tuition, and Mason - the young cook with a lisp who's hopelessly in love with Amber. There's also a few returning characters. Like Naomi, in all her spiteful alcoholic glory. And Calvin, who's gone from being a love-struck loser to total ladies man and manager of Ta-Ta's. Other old faces show up as well, but I don't want to spoil it for you.The characters are, sadly, not near as good as the original Shenanigan's gang. It's no fault of the actor's either, The mostly unknown cast make the best with what they've been given. The characters this time around are just not as interesting. For example, I could've done completely without the Joshua character and would've like to have seen more of the Mason-Amber mini-plot.The story is a bit weak as well. Whereas in the first film, amidst all the dirty jokes, there was a story about that point in your life where you have to ask yourself "Just where am I going?": Still Waiting doesn't seem to have anything other than the "are they gonna make enough money?" plot. You'd think they would, especially with the new girl at the Wing Shack subplot, but it's just not there.All in all, Still Waiting has it's moments. It's pretty funny and way better than the majority of direct-to-DVD sequels out there. If you loved the original, you'll probably like this one. Key word being "like".
Great movie, granted, not as good as the original but definitely worth the watch. Almost everyone from the first makes an appearance in the film, great 'reverse roles' and carry over humor without beating the same jokes to death... HOWEVER, there is a bit of a problem with this DVD... I purchased this DVD and after just 4 times of viewing the movie the DVD started to have issues and got stuck in loops while playing, mainly looping on the 'lionsgate films' opening screen... I've never experience this issue with a DVD before and had a chance to try it in 5 other DVD players with the same issue on all of them, and considering that the DVD is 2 days old and in PERFECT condition I can only assume this was an issue with the printing/creation of this DVD. I've contacted the DVD manufacturer and received no response and feel that anyone wanting to see this movie might be better off renting it rather than purchasing a DVD that may or may not work after the first week...
Loved the original, yes the first one was full of toilet humour but it was laugh out loud funny. I really rated Ryan Reynolds in "Waiting" he's almost like a new Chevvy Chase."Still Waiting" is one very nasty, even a little racist movie. It has no redeeming qualities, I barely raised a smile the whole way through it. Please don't waste your life on this muck. It's even tarnished my memory of waiting.No wonder this went straight to vid, potential funny scenes were rushed though without expanding the scene. It seems like a very lazy attempt to cash in from the fans of the first, it felt very low budget, as some have said already even felt like porn movie acting.AVOID!
