Still Waiting Trailer Online
Posted by Rodneyon 17. 02. 2009in News Chat
In a desperate attempt to cash in on the pseudo-cult following of Waiting, a direct to video sequel has hit the shelves this week.
I don’t know why they thought they could do it, but they tried. They even got some of the cast (but not the important ones) to come on board. Check out the trailer:
Waiting was a genuinely funny rampage of squeamish delight with a side order of rich politically incorrectness. This told an incredible story through the wary eyes of a newcomer and shares the “back of house” view of a dysfunctional restaurant staff. Ingeniously told, raunchy funny and easily my favourite Ryan Reynolds comedy.
The thing that made the first movie great was that you COULDN’T ever duplicate its success. Its like trying to invent a youtube video to be viral. Trying to means it isnt. But that is the very thing they tried to do.
They even shamelessly use the same lines on the same character roles. Consider this my public service announcement to NOT get this movie when you spot it on the rental shelves thinking of how you loved Waiting.
Now forget it exists and rent the first one again.

wow, that looked so freakin awful. I loved the first one. why did they even bother with this a sequel.
Not the same without the man, Ryan Reynolds. Let’s not forget Justin Long either. Why ruin a good thing like the original, I consider myself a fan of the first but yikes I won’t go near this one.
So no more batwing? the brain? the goat? Now we get tits instead of nasty female pube shots?
Waiting is so true to what it’s really like working in a restaurant. Working as a waitress for a summer made me appreciate how much waiters get shit upon by asshole customers.
There is NO way anyone of that cast thought this was a good idea. Waiting was a total one-off, and a great one, how could they think this worked.
pretty bad when the trailer is THAT TERRIBLE. Trailer should at least be decently funny but this awful.
Don’t let Justin Long off the hook, he’s in it for about half an hour, totally bastardizes his character from the first movie. It’s a horrible, horrible film and I wish I’d never seen it.
wow he is in it. Why did they agree to do such a horrible looking movie? I’m very surprised so much of the original cast is in it.
I may have to check it out just to see how bad it is. I’m intrigued :o
