Featured reviews
Waffle Street is a timely piece about the lessons we all should learn about hard work and rewards. Both of the main characters Jimmy (James Lafferty) and Edward (Danny Glover) have felt the pain of dishonesty and have each taken different roads to restoring faith in themselves while seeing the pressures society places on us all.
Danny Glover (Edward) delivers an excellent performance as the friend and mentor to the silver spooned Jimmy who is struggling with understanding what kind of man he wants to be.
Great family movie and relevant to children and adults alike. The true story makes it an even better, again proving life is always more interesting than fiction. I give it a thumbs up for the whole family.

Definitely a heartwarming movie that brings a smile to my face, at least. Although the story isn't extravagant, not so action packed, not going to here doing this, it's real. It's a real story and it gets to the point of human life. A major part of that is the guilt that can fester within someone.
Guilt can make people do things they might never have thought of doing changing the entire course of the life one could have planned out. It's dirty, forces people to flow and live with the wind of life. But at the same time, one must always be real with oneself. Although life may have changed, the things that will always remain true is the feelings in your heart and head. Truth of feelings is power, power that can change lives.
This can be summarized from crookedness to honesty. Thanks to obeying the feelings in the mind and body an honest character is created, in some stories at least.

An entertaining story with good actors and directing and a believable story line. James Lafferty and Danny Glover do a good job.
Just finished watching this movie. I wanted to like it. I worked in the restaurant business for 20 years and I was excited by the premise. The first 15 minutes or so really had me going. It then promptly left me "in the weeds." The script was missing the biting loss of status for its main character. There lacked an intensity of a man putting it all on the line, as well as what the true lifestyle of restaurant employees is really like. That would make a really interesting movie.
This film's intentions are good, but it is a thin veneer of morality and platitudes about making an honest living. The weak plot twist involving the restaurant owner and our hero was forgettable. James Lafferty simply cannot act. This might not be obvious for those who have never been in the service industry, but many of Jim's responses to customers were filled with repressed hostility. People who live on earned tips don't make a living that way. Someone with business acumen would have a better attitude or pick a different career. Danny Glover had nothing of substance to work with. There were some nice moments, but honestly, this was no honest look at life.
