Whether it’s a paper company or a parks department or a fashion magazine, workplaces are rife for good comedy, and one of this writer’s favorite on-the-job flicks is officially coming of age this year. Starring a pre-fame Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris and Justin Long, among others, the 2005 restaurant-staff comedy “Waiting” turns the big 2-1 this year, a fitting anniversary given how raunchy and rambunctious the cult-favorite movie is.
Riotously funny and relatable in its depiction of the messy dynamics between front-of-house staff and kitchen workers, the low-budget indie comedy has culled a devoted clientele of fans over the decades thanks to its strong cast, sharp timing and slacker charm.
And you can celebrate 21 years of “Waiting” by streaming the mid-aughts comedy now on Prime Video for free. Here’s why you should add it to your watchlist.
