Waitress

IN CINEMAS NOW

Synopsis

An audience hit at the Sundance Film Festival, WAITRESS serves up a sweet, sassy and delicious slice of life tale -- as it reveals the power of friendship, motherhood and the willingness to take a chance.  It’s the story of a small town woman who transforms her hopeless life into a hilarious and unexpected love story.  This vibrantly different romantic comedy is the final film from writer-director Adrienne Shelly.  Starring in the title role, Keri Russell (MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3, THE UPSIDE OF ANGER) leads a dynamic cast as a diner waitress stuck in a lousy marriage whose only solace is baking out-of-this-world pies.  When the awkwardly charming new OB-GYN, Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion, SERENITY), comes to town, she’s inspired to mix-master her life into something far more satisfying.  WAITRESS will surely do for pie making what SIDEWAYS did for Pinot Noir.
