Still Waiting... (2009) 7/10

Starring : John Michael Higgins, Robert Patrick Benedict, Andy Milonakis, Chi McBride, Luis Guzman
Director : Jeff Ballis
Running Time : 91 mins

Shenanigan’s manager Dennis (Higgins) has been told he will get a promotion to district manager if he makes $9,000 on the last day of the financial year. In order to give his staff some incentive, he tells them that the restaurant will be closed down if they don’t hit target, a lie that holds some truth due to the loss of business they have been suffering from due to the recently opened bar Ta-Ta’s, where the waitresses are all scantily clad in Daisy Dukes and tight tees.

Surprisingly I thought this was just as good as the original, in spite the absence of the originals main cast. The story isn’t anything original, but the characters are likeable and the jokes aren’t bad. It’s a shame that so many people decided not to appear in the sequel, but those that take their place do a pretty good job and keep this movie largely entertaining from start to finish.
