Waiting...

Waiting... Has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels and Hoopla, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Philo. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. With 993 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Ryan Reynolds's performance alone is worth the time investment. Put it on tonight on Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels and see for yourself.

There is a reason Waiting... Keeps coming up in conversation. Waiting... Does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Young employees at Shenaniganz restaurant collectively stave off boredom and adulthood with their antics. Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2005. What keeps Waiting... From feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Waiting... Is a strong candidate. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Ryan Reynolds's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
