I just saw it last night, and I really loved it. Pies and Fillion, what could go wrong. Sure the husband, well you were sort of hit over the head with how bad he was, but still. I think the way it ended... well, I liked it. I like selfish movies where it focuses on one character and how she lives... and I think Fillion's character was... well, yeah, a bit lacking in meat, but only because talking about his backstory and such would... well, ruin his relationship with the main character, if you know what I mean.
"But, these strong women characters?"
"Why aren't you asking 100 other guys why they don't write strong women characters?" -Joss Whedon.

I just came across this on Yahoo and couldn't believe I was reading it correctly

According to this article, Waitress has jumped from 12th place to 5th place since last weekend and it earned $3.1 million since Friday. That's not per screen figures, that's overall earnings.
They say there will be more complete numbers posted once the holiday weekend is over. Still, very promising.

Wow! It out-performed 28 weeks, which was supposed to be a big blockbuster! I'm telling you guys, Waitress is this year's Little Miss Sunshine...

I'm going into the city (chicago) tomorrow to see it, and maybe another movie called "Once". I'm making my sunday into a double feature. I'm not ashamed to say it.
Once and Death at a Funeral are the only two movies I really want to see this summer. Hopefully Once will come soon, I know Death at a Funeral is.

One of the previews at the theater last night was the trailer for Death at a Funeral. I accidentally shrieked when Alan Tudyk showed up on-screen. I startled the little old ladies in front of me. LOL
And, of course, his part looks hilarious. I'm with you -- I'll be back to see Death at a Funeral later this summer.

I was so busy enjoying, I didn't think or analyze. Might be one of the few movies I HAFTA go see twice to really appreciate. We bought candy and stuff to munch on, and veryr touched any of it... My daughter said, " I can't wait 'till that's out on DVD." So they'll sell at least a couple, when it comes to that.

Concur.
I just got back, and this time my stepmom didn't scoff when I hinted afterwards at showing her Firefly, so that's a step!
My favorite Nathan line: "I have no response to that."

How about "I'm going to go deliver a baby. That's what I do." Also "I wish it was Friday."as he exits the office. Absolutely perfect delivery.
Edit: Got to add "If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to call me."
BTW I noticed that the diploma up above his head in the office scenes was a Duke diploma. I'm a UNC fan and we hate Duke with a passion but any mention of NC is great. Also, his office got neater and neater each time she visited.

Well, I saw "Waitress" and "Once" as planned. It was a great day.
"W" was serious and funny. Never having seen Keri Russel before either, I have to say she was on the delightful side. All of the new names for her pies were amusing and funny every time. Fillion was a total doctor. Total Simon anyone?
"Once" blew me away. I don't even want to get started on it. It was that good. If you're at all into good songs, for the sake of the songwriting, just see this movie.

Ah, the joys of living in the South. "What! Some little inipennint movie? Hell no! We might have to remove Delta Farce from one of the 2 screens at the 10 screen multi-plex!" And at 3+ dollars a gallon--as much as I love our Captain--it's too much to go too far. Guess it's DVD for me.

I'm gonna take Jenna's calling her horrible husband "Early" as a Firefly reference!
