Movie Review – Still Waiting (2009)

Starring – John Michael Higgins, Alanna Uboch, Maggie Lawson
Director – Jeff Balis
Domestic Gross – Direct to DVD
Running Time – 90 minutes

This is the Direct-to-DVD sequel to 2005’s surprisingly funny Waiting starring Justin Long, Ryan Reynolds and Anna Farris. Still Waiting picks up a few years in the future with many of the same players (read lesser known actors) still working at Shenanigans. I always struggle with what to expect from Direct-to-DVD stuff. I really enjoyed Waiting, but if this sequel was really good why didn’t it get a release? Then again, I think the newer American Pie DVDs are hilarious and they didn’t get a release. So, what to expect from this?! Nothing much. Like the previous installment if you ever worked in food service you’ll think this is a lot funnier than if you didn’t. Unfortunately, a lot of the jokes are recycled and not so good the second time around. So, if you ever worked in a restaurant it’s worth the rental since it’s decent enough. I know… Not much of a recommendation, but while I don’t have too much good to say I really don’t have all that much bad either. Just a neutral effort.

I’m Mike D and I approve this message.
