Still Waiting...

As my summary title says it's definitely nowhere near close to all of the laughs an raunchiness of the first one,, The only recognizable name in this movie to me was Adam Corolla , and I'm not really a big fan of his. this movie had some laughs,, and a few raunchy moments,, but the idea that our main character had to make 9000 in sales on the last day before the fiscal period ended , was totally not a good storyline,, I thought maybe something like maybe a major restaurant critic coming by to review the food, would have been better storyline. I guess there was so much from the first movie that is missing from this one,, most of the actors/actresses from the 1st one are noticeably absent from this one,, gee I wonder why, all together I would have to say that I'm "still waiting" on a better sequel so folks you can go ahead and pass on this one.

This movie basically took everything that was good about the first one and made it less interesting and engaging. The cameos was okay just not that great and sort of pointless with the return of some the cast from the first movie, in fact this sequel is pointless. Rob McKittrick the writer for the film even admitted he had no idea what to write about for the plot, the first movie didn't really have a plot but this one was just way more random and ridiculous and just too over the top. In fact Rob if you see him in the behind the scenes is a dick himself and one cocky guy after a decent success of his first movie. The first "Waiting.." was great because it is something that a lot of people that worked in a restaurant can relate with, this isn't the case for the sequel. So it basically continues the adventures of the waiting staff at Shenaniganz restaurant after two years later, except now they are having sort of a competition with the new Ta-Ta's Wing Shack restaurant where some of the old team members work now, which is basically like Hooters or Twin Peaks. They got the team members from the first movie back but not all of them and the new team members in the restaurants isn't as likable. As a matter of fact they don't have the two main actors from the first movie that took the spotlight back, which is Monty(Ryan Reynolds) and Floyd(Dane Cook). And basically replaced Monty with Agnew(Stever Howey) who is a dick in real life and in the movie as well, but he isn't a likable dick like Ryan Reynolds was, but I will admit his stereotyping jokes were actually kinda funny. The first movie had a lot of toilet humor and stuff was just random, and there is a lot of toilet humor in this one as well but it just isn't as engaging or as entertaining. Chris Williams is sort of a replacement of Floyd, but just comes off as a prick that should have had something bad happen to him at the end. It was interesting to find out that Mason and Agnew is real people and Rob took down the stupid stuff they said and got it into writing for this movie. It's a weak sequel overall and the cast wasn't as likable, it's not terrible though and I guess it's worth seeing if you really enjoyed the first "Waiting...". The main highlight of this movie though is the Ta-Ta's Wing Shack girls, Amanda Loncar was hot.

4.6/10

It may not be the greatest of sequels, but it's still very watchable.

Still captures the atmosphere of working at a restaurant very well although this sequel is only a former shell of it's original self. They do a nice job bringing back some old characters which is nice because the whole point of "Ta-Ta's" seemed pretty absolutely pointless.

Much like the first one there really isn't a main plot but to capture the everyday life of servers in the restaurant environment. Except this time there is a competing (but not really) hooters knock off restaurant next door with a new crew.

Nevertheless, this movie is about average to above average just depending of how critical you want to be of the first film with comparing it to this one.

If you work as a server and found the first movie to be enjoyable, you might as well watch this one. If not, don't expect much.

This movie spooked me out to get my act together before it's too late. The only other movie that had done that recently was Joker. It's scary living in this world. I guess it got better, but I wouldn't recommend becoming a waiter based on this movie.

It was a decent effort though. Once you got comfortable, there were hot girls. Same vibe as the first movie. Hooters makes an appearance. So does Andy Milonakis. Struggles of life and becoming a better person. Finding a woman etc.

Nice. Worth a watch some random night maybe.

It should be law that sequels can only be made by the writers and directors of the original. A sure sign that a sequel is going to be bad is that none of the original main actors want to be in it. (see also Caddy Shack 2) The bit at the end with Justin Long was painful. He obviously didn't want to be there and he left his name off the credits because he was ashamed of the movie. Don't get me wrong, there are a few moments worth watching, like the bit with the busboy rapper. But for the most part it looks like it was written by someone who just didn't get what the first movie was all about.
