Waitress is a wee (很小的) romantic charmer, a delectable Dixie screwball romp (頑皮嘻鬧的女孩) that never loses its spry sense of discovery. Written and directed by Adrienne Shelly, the New York actress and filmmaker who was tragically killed last year (she appears, along with Cheryl Hines, as one of Jenna's waitress pals), the movie is always high-spirited, but it's also wistful, sexy, and melancholy.
