Movie review – “Still Waiting” (2008) *1/2

The original had heart and a sense of reality, both lacking here. It splits focus by concentrating on two restaurants – the original and a Hooters type bar. That would have been okay but the Hooters one (which potentially could have been really interesting - what do the staff talk about in such places) is mostly done without insight. (There's a nice moment towards the end about when to draw the line - but it's too little too late; far too much caricatures and boobs). Some of the cast from the original return but we don’t really get to know them in much more depth – the angry girl is still angry, the hot girl at the front is still hot. The exception is Justin Long, who returns with a terrific cameo. A misfire.
