negroluvkfc We all know this is a hack direct to video sequel; but they would not have made it were there no demand for it. They did a thoughtful and earnest if not flawed job with a large ensemble cast. Not everything worked. It never does. This production was pack with improv people. There were funny lines. But by far the things I found most enjoyable, as a restaurant worker, were the phenomena I deal with everyday. I say this about the original as much as this sequel.Instead of listing every example, I will focus on the performance of Justin Long. He has subsequently disowned this performance in an interview with Peter Travers, something I will discuss later in the review.-After this point there are Spoilers- In the first film, Justin Longs character Dean comes to a self realization and quits. His "ball showing game," as the movie puts it. And this from the sage, weird old black dishwasher.We catch up with Dean at the end of the fi;m, the fabled "District Manager," now an oxycontin/internet porn addicted, alcoholic, jaded prisoner of Sheninigans. He is trapped, despite his attempts to flee. This is all part of a monologue at the bar, capped off with him not paying for his drink. Top Dog at Shenanigans, to be sure.I've seen this a thousand times. Yet Justin Long, in the Peter Travers interview, say he is embarrassed by having anything to do with this movie. It was beneath him, apparently. Perhaps he felt like he sold out, trading his credibility as an artist for something akin to catering to the interests of money and bad taste. Perhaps.Peter Travers then immediately makes reference to the Mac/PC commercials in which Justin Long features so prominently. Perhaps he was thinking about the immortal words of Bill Hicks when he spoke about corporate shills and how they lost any credibility as an artist. I cannot help looking down on Justin Long for his promotion of an organization that keeps millions enslaved and tens of millions mesmerized by plastic playthings. In essence, he has become the cliché he portrayed in Still Waiting.. and is doubly a hypocrite.

KineticSeoul 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

Mr_Censored If you've ever worked in a restaurant, then you probably already know that "Waiting..." was perhaps one of the best stress relievers for the job. From the rude, dehumanizing customers, to the sick-minded line-cooks, right down the melodramatic wait-staff, it covered all the bases. And most importantly, it was hilarious front to back and was good for many a repeat viewing. What you may or may not be aware of, though, is that a direct-to-DVD sequel has just been released, simply titled "Still Waiting..." Written by Rob McKittrick, who also wrote and directed the first film, "Still Waiting..." is really just more shenanigans at the fictional "Shenaniganz" restaurant. Like your typical food-service job, the faces always change, which is convenient, because for this installment, big names like Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris and Dane Cook couldn't be pulled. Aside from a wealth of cameos and bit parts from the rest of the cast of the original flick, this one is filled with all new characters. The film walks a fine line, trying to service it's original audience by cramming as many characters from the previous film in, as well as establishing and developing a whole new cast. Unfortunately, in the case of the new cast, it doesn't pan out so well. Some of the characters work, but are under-developed, such as Tania Raymonde in the role of Amber, or even the slightly larger role of John Michael Higgins as Dennis. Elsewhere, though, the characters serve either a cheap punchline, or are otherwise recycled from the first film. It's sad that a new film with an all-new cast is only enjoyable when players from the last one drop by for a visit. This new cast of characters is, for the most part, bland, unlikeable, unfunny and just plain useless.Thankfully, the film is still enjoyable, if not a bit redundant. Luis Guzman, Chi McBride, David Koechner, Rob Benedict, Andy Milonakis, Max Kasch and Vanessa Lengies all return, but it is Alanna Ubach -- reprising the role of the in-conquerable Naomi -- who really steals the show. Thankfully, she's a big character in the film, and if it weren't for her return, this movie wouldn't be half as great as it is. Justin Long, pops in briefly to drag down the mood, but to also take a jab at the character he played in the first film, as well as any other film he's been in. Think his character in "Zack & Miri Make A Porno" but more depressed. No doubt, the film is filled with plenty of food-service in-jokes and enough gross-out humor to satisfy, even if it drops the ball on telling an interesting story with it's new characters. Thanks to a returning cast, as well as solid direction by Jeff Balis (who served as a producer for the first film), "Still Waiting..." is a worthy refill. It's nowhere near as potent as "Waiting..." but in comparison to other DTV fair, it's worth watching, if not owning. There's still enough on the menu for those who crave a nice, nasty story revolving around a restaurant, and to that end, it holds up. Definitely in the spirit of the first one, just missing a few crucial elements to make it a classic.

faucetofslfame Ugh. Are you serious? This movie took everything that was great about the original, blew it way over the top, and ruined any chance it had of being decent. I can honestly say I didn't even smile for the entire thing, what was there to smile about? The guy who was an obvious rip-off of the character Ryan Reynolds played? That did nothing but spout really generic, un-creative and obscene jokes the whole movie? Woah, never seen that. Or the main character who's so pathetic, obnoxious, un-funny as well as un-likable that we can only hope he doesn't get the promotion? Or perhaps the stuff that wasn't just not funny as well as over-played it self from the first one making triumphant returns to further beat the dead horse? Such as Naomi and the so-not-worth-watching-it's-painful Andy Milonakis. Look out everyone, white guys pretending to be gangster. Comedy 101, here. Although, I'll give them an ounce of credit for obviously realizing how stupid the two characters were the first time around. Oh, wait, I'm forgetting about the cook with the lateral lisp! HA HA! He has a speech impediment and sounds super-funny! HA HA!SPOILER - But all that aside, I think the greatest insult was ruining one of the great things from Waiting, and that was Justin Long's character. Who was sick of just settling, said F it and went out on his own. So in this they have him a porn and pill addicted f-up because of his decision to leave the restaurant? Right on. Someone stop the funny-train, because I'm rolling in the aisles. END SPOILER Please, I beg of you, do not watch this movie. If you must, just watch Adam Carolla's part. As I'm the Ace-Man's number one fan, and even his role couldn't get this rating above a two.
