Alicia I love this movie so much

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

phd_travel There is something morbidly fascinating about watching a former finance executive struggle with working in a fast food franchise. A trader in mortgage backed securities gets sacked for some scapegoat reason and decides to do something down to earth.This isn't a comedy - it's kind a of a life change drama told in a semi serious tone and it gets quite depressing when they sell their home. One surprising thing is his wife is supportive beyond belief putting up with his whims and fancies and changing their life situation so much.James Lafferty of One Tree Hill and Julie Gonzalo of Veronica Mars are quite appealing leads. Danny Glover plays an ex con cook.Interesting but a little sad.

mrmmrm-00473 I like most movies I watch in some way or another. But after this one I feel like ranting. So I will yell in this little box so I can move on with my life. I almost watched it all, but I had to stop myself. I could not ignore the feeling that I was wasting my precious time. The story had nothing to tell about being human. There is no authentic human struggle anywhere. When there was 20 minutes left I turned it off because I didn't care how it ended. I didn't care if our offputting protagonist got his perfect life. I don't feel for two people in their thirties because they don't get to live in a mansion. You had to drive a low price car? Other people jumped off buildings.

Dan Desjardins Not sure what this film is. The premise is that a hard-driving ethically challenged financial manager working for an ethically challenged firm is used as a scapegoat when things go wrong. With his career in ruins he begins to look for another job and winds up as an overdressed, under-prepared waiter in a chicken and waffles franchise. Cue all the possible clichés at this point... It is an interesting premise if not for how quickly he moves from the world of high-finance to applying for menial jobs. There were a few laughable moments, but in the end I felt robbed of any believable elements in the main characters transformation from scoundrel to an honest, hard-working Joe. From beginning to end this felt like community theater writing and acting with a strong undertone of false modesty. Even Danny Glover doesn't pull this up from the bottom - though his performance was clearly the best of what the movie has to offer - which was very little in terms of message, comedy or drama. Blech!

mcalpinjm Waffle Street is a timely piece about the lessons we all should learn about hard work and rewards. Both of the main characters Jimmy (James Lafferty) and Edward (Danny Glover) have felt the pain of dishonesty and have each taken different roads to restoring faith in themselves while seeing the pressures society places on us all. Danny Glover (Edward) delivers an excellent performance as the friend and mentor to the silver spooned Jimmy who is struggling with understanding what kind of man he wants to be. Great family movie and relevant to children and adults alike. The true story makes it an even better, again proving life is always more interesting than fiction. I give it a thumbs up for the whole family.
