Meredith W @Dufflecoats Jan 7 "Waitress" tells the story of pie-making waitress Jenna trapped in an abusive marriage who discovers she's pregnant. With a secret affair with her doctor spicing up her life of yearning to win a pie contest as a means of escape, is far from your typical romantic comedy, which elevates it within the genre. The film balances difficult themes with humor, focusing on her journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and the complexities of love and difficult choices in a small town, with much of its success coming from the ensemble of support characters in Janna’s small-town world.

See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch Feb 16 I recently watched the 2007 film "Waitress," featuring Keri Russell in the lead role. The movie has a light comedic touch, but it leans more towards romance, telling the story of a woman trapped in a terrible relationship. She finds solace and escape in her passion for baking pies, dreaming of one day owning her own pie shop. Overall, I found the film quite enjoyable and watched it from start to finish. While I believe the stage play offers deeper character development and a richer portrayal of the protagonist, the film does explore her relationship with the doctor in greater detail. However, I felt that their connection developed too quickly, lacking a proper buildup, which can be attributed to some shortcomings in the screenwriting. The sudden shift from him being her gynecologist to a romantic interest felt a bit awkward. The cast did an amazing job in their respective roles. Personally, I preferred the portrayal of the character by the actress in the stage musical over the film's counterpart. Nonetheless, I believe the film was well-directed, with strong performances that effectively conveyed the emotional journey intended for the audience. I would definitely recommend it.

"Waitress" is exactly what we need this day and age, it not only deals with a serious topic, but presents in a very respectful way. Also the performance of Jenna by Keri Russell is top notch.
