Waitress
Here is a movie I absolutely loved! Not only was it funny, but it also had many heartfelt moments… definitely one for my amazon wish list.
One thing that I did no agree with(warning from here down are spoilers) was how Jenna (the waitress) and her lover/doctor Dr. Pomatter don’t end up together in the long run, yeah yeah hopeless romantic, I know what I am don’t need to tell me. But still who had an affair with a pregnant married woman with such passion and lets her walk away?! I don’t buy it.
I would have also liked to have seen Jenna visit Old Joe while he was in a coma in the same hospital. They had such a special type of friendship, I would have been nice to see.
With that said, the most wonderful moment of the movie is the moment Jenna held Lulu for the first time, realizing she could take control of her life once more and begin to feel her emotions once again. She was finally brave enough to tell that rat of a husband to get lost for good so she could live once again, a fresh start.
Oh one more note, the writer/director of this movie (who also played the character of Dawn) was murdered in her apartment office before the movie was accepted into the Sundance Film Festival. You can read about her life and tragic demise here.
So watch this movie and let me know how you like it =]
