♥♥♥♥♥ |
Serving up a heaping slice of sweet revenge...
|
I first heard about Waitress due to the tragic murder of its writer / producer Adrienne Shelly shortly before the film was accepted at Sundance (Shelly wrote the script for Waitress while pregnant with her daughter Sophie, who appears in the film).
Jenna (Keri Russell) finds out that her uber-controlling husband Earl (Jeremy Sisto) impregnated her after getting her drunk, and she's trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage and a dead-end job as a waitress in a Southern town. Jenna lives to invent pies that incorporate her latest obstacles and triumphs (I Don't Want Earl's Baby Pie, I Hate My Husband Pie, I Can't Have No Affair Because It's Wrong And I Don't Want Earl To Kill Me Pie).
Fellow waitresses Dawn (Adrienne Shelly in her final role) and Becky (Cheryl Hines) serve as guardian angels of sorts, providing female companionship and a shoulder to lean on. Both are pursuing love affairs of their own, even as Jenna begins a passionate affair with the new OB, Dr. Pomatter.
Diner owner Old Joe (Andy Griffith) is a persnickety customer who's always throwing out over-the-top demands and expecting every wish to be followed, but underneath the gruff exterior hides a heart of gold.
The film has almost a fairytale quality due to the bright, primary colors, dream sequences, and yes, a fairy godfather of sorts. It took me a while to get into Waitress, but it was a mouthwatering spectacle that ultimately delights. |
