Waiting...

Waiting... is a 2005 American comedy film starring Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, and Justin Long as staffers at the restaurant Shenaniganz. It is directed by Rob McKittrick in his directorial debut. McKittrick wrote the screenplay while working as a waiter. The script was initially sold in a film deal to Artisan Entertainment, but was released by Lions Gate Entertainment (which purchased Artisan in 2003). Producers Chris Moore and Jeff Balis of Live Planet's Project Greenlight fame also took notice of the project and assisted. The film made over US$6 million, more than twice the budget of the film, in its opening weekend.
