Waiting...

Waiting... is a 2005 film starring Ryan Reynolds and Justin Long. In this film, young employees at a restaurant called Shenanigans fight boredom and adulthood with their antics.

Tropes that apply to this film:

 * Almighty Janitor: Bishop, the dishwasher who gives psychological advice to the rest of the staff.
 * Angst: Of the existential sort. It drives the movie.
 * Audience Surrogate: Mitch
 * Always Someone Better: than Dean which triggers the angst which drives his plot.
 * Between My Legs: Naomi.
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Naomi. Nice in public, nasty in private.
 * Epiphany Therapy: Averted. Calvin feels much better after Bishop walks him through a mental exercise about peeing in a public restroom, but Bishop then goes on to outline a therapy plan, involving repeating that exercise every night, and then slowly working him up to the stalls. Too bad Calvin isn't listening.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: In addition to Ryan Reynolds and the Mac guy, you have Emerson Cod, Josie, Sweets, and Dane Cook.
 * I Ate What?: The "biatch" diner is given a "special" steak when she demands a new one. Remember, folks: Don't piss off the waitstaff.
 * Insane Troll Logic: Monty claims he is allowed to have sex with under-age girls because he wasn't there when the laws were made.
 * Ironic Echo: "You [obviously] need it more than I do." Dean first says it maliciously to a Redneck then it's said to Dean by an old classmate but more sympathetic.
 * Jail Bait Wait: Something that Monty does not adhere to.
 * Magical Negro: Bishop.
 * Not So Different: Dan, the manager tries with Dean
 * Recycled in Space: It's Clerks in a restaurant.
 * Refuge in Audacity: Monty, his mother and Dean eating dinner.
 * Shout-Out The name of the restaurant Shenanigans is a reference to Super Troopers. Shenanigans was mentioned as a Restaurant that officer Rodney Farva liked to eat at complete with goofy shit on the wall.
 * "The Reason You Suck" Speech: One near the end...
 * Two Lines, No Waiting: No pun intended, there are many, many subplots going on. In fact, the audience can pretty much choose who the main character is and what the main plot is.
 * The Voiceless:
