An entertaining story with good actors and directing and a believable story line. James Lafferty and Danny Glover do a good job.
I really enjoyed watching this with my wife. It was fun, entertaining, funny and had a really good message. Knowing that all of this really happened really added to it.
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.

Remember the character Ricky Fitts played by Wes Bentley in AMERICAN BEAUTY ? This Movie reminded me of him, and his character, plus he looks a little like James Lafferty the lead JIMMY in this Film. Billed a Comedy and there are plenty of laughs and great work by Danny Glover as EDWARD, this Movie is sort of like psychological torture. Jimmy narrates the story so your always on the edge of your seat anticipating the next frame, which is a good thing. Interesting Cast !! Hilarious Premise. Recommend watching after a late night out partying.
