    Family movie about life, relationships, and a blue collar lesson in big finance for X-Wall Street manager.

    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.

    Heartwarming

    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.

    Late Night Bender

    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.

    I could eat some waffles now.

    When the movie started stating this story was based on real life events I was expecting that the main character James Adams was going to accomplish something stunningly remarkable but in the end it's just not that exceptional, on the contrary it's quite dull and non significant. That said the story is still pleasant to follow, with good acting from James Lafferty, Julie Gonzalo and the rest. Danny Glover plays a character we're familiar with for him by now, the old wise guy that has seen it all, nothing spectacular but it works in this movie. I wouldn't say I laughed a lot, just some giggles, but for a dramady it's worth a watch. It made me crave some waffles though.

    nice

    ...maybe, useful, in same measure. A seductive portrait of friendship and what real matters in life.

    Pretty premise, great experience and the unique Danny Glover in a role usinge, în fair, precise manner, his artistic skills.

    Some humor, some well crafted dialogue, some charming scenes and a guy discovering, step by step, himself.

    Nice moral, good life lesson and the memory of Danny Glover and his question about essence of happy life.

    In short, charming bitter sweet film , with good message and faire seductive acting.

    Enough for appreciate it and for not so bad if about your life. So, Waffle street.
