Spiritual Insight in Movies
All other considerations aside, how spiritual is a movie? The scale rates from profoundly spiritual (5) to not at all spiritual (1). Courtesy of HollywoodJesus.com.
 
Waiting is a movie that wants to tell twenty-somethings how to break out of the monotony of life, to break free from the every day grind that drags us down and leaves us feeling worthless. The problem is, the answers they give are ridiculous.

WaitingLOOKING FOR HAPPINESS IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES

WAITING... is a movie that wants to tell twenty-somethings how to break out of the monotony of life, to break free from the every day grind that drags us down and leaves us feeling worthless.

The problem is, the answers they give are ridiculous.

SYNOPSIS
enlargeA hilarious comedy about frustrated waiters, stingy tippers and dicey food, Lions Gate Films' "Waiting..." stars Ryan Reynolds, Justin Long and Anna Faris as young employees battling boredom at Shenanigan's, a generic chain restaurant.

enlargeA waiter for four years since high school, Dean (Justin Long) has never questioned his job at Shenanigan's. But when he learns that Chett, a high school classmate, now has a lucrative career in electrical engineering, he's thrown into turmoil about his dead-end life. Dean's friend Monty (Ryan Renolds) is in exactly the same boat, but he couldn't care less. More concerned with partying and getting laid by underage girls, Monty is put in charge of training Mitch (John Francis Daley), a shy new employee. enlargeOver the course of one chaotic shift, Mitch gets to know the rest of Shenanigan's quirky staff: Monty's tough-talking ex-girlfriend, Serena (Anna Faris), Shenanigan's over-zealous manager, Dan (David Koechner), and head cook Raddimus (Luis Guzman), who's obsessed with a senseless staff-wide competition known only as "The Game"...

Featuring stoned busboys, unsanitary kitchen antics, and lots of talk about sex, "Waiting..." is a hysterical, behind-the-scenes look at the restaurant industry, and an affectionate ode to those lost, and thoroughly unproductive, days of youth
