Jenna is unhappily married. She squirrels away money and is hoping to win a pie-baking contest so, with the prize money, she'll have enough cash to leave her husband Earl. She finds herself pregnant and her plans are thrown awry. She bakes phenomenal pies at Joe's diner, listens to old Joe's wisdom, tolerates her sour boss Cal, is friends with her fellow waitresses, Dawn and Becky. She, also, finds a mutual attraction with the new doctor in town. Life with Earl becomes less tolerable as her pregnancy advances. Her way out of the marriage is less clear and her affair with the doctor is complicated by his marriage.
DVD, region 1, widescreen presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Waitress submitted by awooden on August 4, 2011, 10:13am I really love this movie. I thought that the storyline was great. Keri Russell did a great job with this role.

Colorful submitted by markwells on November 4, 2011, 12:05pm The cast of characters is colorful in this fairy-tale of a movie. Keri Russell's waitress is cute and you just might fall in love with her too.
Oh ... and the pies are deliciously colorful also. A-

B movie submitted by SurfGrape on August 18, 2016, 8:22am Very much a B movie, reminds me of something you'd see on the Hallmark channel. Still, it was cute enough and it made me hungry for pie!

Interesting submitted by eileenw on July 31, 2022, 3:13pm While there is some RomCom flavor to this movie, it is definitely not a RomCom. Does some interesting things with the filming (cuts, camera angles, etc) that make it feel more Indie than Big Studio. Firmly told through the Female Gaze with primary focus on female characters.
