The Good Waiter

2 reviews
3/10

An experiment gone awry

The Good Waiter's lack of polish shows from the embarrassing first scene, which connects to nothing else in the film and seems to have been left in through an editing mistake. After that, it finds some footing and becomes a bland, but serviceable student film (or student-like, at least) about a developing crush between two waiters in a restaurant. Unfortunately, near the midpoint, the writer decides to switch up the story, and it goes awry, trying to be forced into a genre that it completely lacks the chops for.

Of course, The Good Waiter isn't the first movie to go off the rails in the second act, but most of the others take more than seven minutes to get there. Still, I give it marks on willingness to take a risk, but still can't recommend it.

summer story

Amusing, easy, sexy, not convincing, superficial, using a kind of mistery and irony, one of summer films who are far by high ambitions. two guys, a relation mixing comradery and fascination and admiration and something else, few drops of drama and two different characters with the expectations, desires and illusions. the bodies are the basic detail. so, one of too many films about...nothing. except the not most noble desires of a precise target.
