like some desperate housewives spinoff two episode story ... worse than most chickflicks

Surprisingly really great. It is sweet and cute, but the characters aren't, its a pretty cool dynamic. I want her pies!!!!!

Keri Russell is excellent here and really carries a film that could have become annoying but remains as sweet as the pies she makes.

charming story with a nice supporting appearance by Andy Griffith.

There's a nice tone in this bittersweet tale with a great performance by Russell.

An undercurrent of sadness runs through the film and manages to pierce even the happiest moments. It is never about how easy life is but often about what you'll take in this life for better or worse. To ease your woes it does manage to end as happily as possible.

This is such an unusual plot, but well worth it.

Considering my gender, I enjoyed this movie way more than I probably should have. I don`t think that I was its intended audience, but that didn't seem to matter. What can I say? I thought it was hilarious and appropriately sentimental. Like a sap, I bought into the whole thing. Just a great little movie.

Keri Russell deserves recognition for being able to portray a character who can turn down Captain Tightpants. Amazing!

It was cute. But it was also kind of sad under all of the cuteness, which started out interesting and made this something different, but by the second half it was just a bit too full of sappy sentimentality. It's a good movie I guess, but probably not something I'll be telling people they have to see.

Endearing characters with smart dialog

While the husband is portrayed as a one-dimensional cretin, Keri Russell's passive-aggressive response to him stealthily flies below the radar. I don't really have any sympathy for the guy, but I don't think this film is as emotionally observant as it would like to be.

The ending is far too saccharine, but the writing and acting are spot on, and the film is emotionally very complex and the characters are beautifully portrayed. A surprising success.

Very sweet, cute, well performed little tale. Keri Russell has won me over.

My kind of movie.

Low key and very well executed.

"Comedy and tragedy exist side-by-side in this drab little film, suggesting an SNL alum's reinterpretation of the TV show Alice." - Ed Gonzalez

I'm going to call this the "totally irresistable quirky bitter sweet romantic" pie.

Saw this with my mom, not sure why. I have a crush on Keri Russell, and I'm a big fan of Firefly and consequently Nathan Fillion. Those things definitely upped my enjoyment. Solid enough romantic comedy, probably a bit too saccharine and sentimental at parts, but good overall. Plus, I like pie.

I am not a huge pie fan, but the movie itself wasn't bad. The interaction between Russell and Hines at times could be pretty funny. Russell's character at times started to annoy me a bit, but that once again could just be that I am not a big pie fan. It is good to see that Felicity has graduated from RA status and found work at a diner.

Endearing, charming, cute, light, fun, sweet -- All of this describes Waitress perfectly. Who would have thought Keri Russell would have ever had this performance in her?

Surprisingly good. The movie, despite its bitter, world-weary crust, is quite sweet and affecting at the core -- made bittersweet by the true-life horror that befell Shelly before the film's release. My knowledge of her death hung a pall over the movie, made all the more tragic by just how strong a piece of work it really is. The comedy is nuanced, and the characters are all alluring, even when they aren't likable. Griffith and Jemison shine in bit parts, and Russell knocks it out of the park.

So disappointing. It's not that it was a terribly-made film, but I did not like the story at all and found there was very little sweetness, sass or deliciousness. Winner of my "Worst Movie of the Year" award.

PV. Every second of the first 30 minutes of this film is absolutely stupid and retarded. After that I walked out of cinema.
