I've been waiting for a movie like this for a long, long time. Anyone who has worked in the food industry or have waited tables needs to see this film.

Just caught this one on DVD today too. Horrible, horrible movie. Ryan Reynolds is in full Jason Lee of Mallrats mode (and not even close to being as funny). The script tries to take anything good about Swingers, Keven Smith flicks and all the other "hip" indie comedies of the past 15 years and be cute about it. The characters are all cliches, not people.
However, if you're looking for a comedy in which you see a man's testicle skin and a mangy vagina, well, this movie was made for you.

While MOST of the jokes failed, I laughed out loud a few times. I wouldn't say it was a good movie by any means, but it wasn't horrible either.

Listen to the rap when the credits are rolling. It's hillarious. My favorite line "Fuck you with a loaf of bread and make you cheat on Atkins."

What parts did you laugh at? All the jokes that were supposed to be funny just came off stupid to me. I've got nothing against stupid humor, but the jokes here were just so predictable and uninspired that I felt insulted.

I liked it. Ryan Reynolds was cool, but I couldn't stand that chick who just yelled all the time. And I loved the manager. He reminded me so much of my old manager when I worked at Staples in my hs days.

I usually feel the same way, and I agree, it was stupid humor.
POTENTIAL SPOILERS?
When the trainee just went off on everybody at the end.
When one of the busboys says "fuck you whitey" to the dishwasher.
When the trainee is watching the video and the guy in the video says something like "we respect our customers" and then Ryan Reynolds says to another employee:"Did you see the tits on table 12?"
