Watching The Waitress made me want to eat pie. (Even more so than hearing Andie MacDowell sing about pie in Michael. And almost as much as the Double R Diner scenes in Twin Peaks.) The waitress is Jenna, played by Keri Russell. She's adorable, young, newly pregnant, and has a not-so-great husband who keeps her on a short leash. She's also really good at "inventing" pies and knocking peoples' socks off with them at the local diner. She dreams big and wants to enter a pie contest, but of course her husband puts a stop to that. Feeling stifled, alone and downright sad she falls head over heels for her doctor. As she tries to figure out what to do with her love affair, her mean husband and her unwanted pregnancy, she relies on her fellow waitress friends and the surprise "friendship" of a cranky diner customer to keep her afloat. Ultimately, when a new little life is born, Jenna is finally able to be born herself and live the life she always knew she wanted but could never have. So, be warned- this charming and sassy film may have you itching for a slice of marshmallow mermaid pie.

I loved this movie. I'm a big Keri Russell fan. The movie was very funny, especailly her two best friends and who they were dating. How her best friend Becky was having an affair with the fry cook and her friend Dawn started dating the man that was stalking her and wrote her creepy spontaneous poetry. It was also good to see that Andy Griffith is still working.
