Line 1: {{work\|wppage=Waitress (film)}} '''''Waitress''''' is a 2007 [[~~Dramedy\|~~dramedy]] about Jenna, an [[Domestic Abuse\|unhappily married]] waitress/pie-baking-genius from the deep south. When she discovers she got impregnated by her abusive and domineering husband, she decides to keep the unwanted baby against all reason, leading to a passionate affair with her new, married, gynecologist. The film follows her small steps towards self-awareness, independence and happiness, while being accompanied by the staff and customers of the diner she works in and their own stories. Directed by Adrienne Shelly, whose gruesome murder overshadowed the mostly positive reviews of the film, it stars [[Felicity\|Keri Russell]] as Jenna, [[Six Feet Under\|Jeremy Sisto]] as her husband Earl, [[Nathan Fillion]] as the gynecologist Dr. Pomatter and [[Curb Your Enthusiasm\|Cheryl Hines]] as her promiscuous friend Becky. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~=== This movie contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Adorkable]]: Dr. Pomatter, in ''spades''. Then again, he is played by [[Nathan Fillion]]. ** Ogie, as well. His spontaneous poems do grow on you after a while. Line 23 ⟶ 21: * [[Foreshadowing]]: {{spoiler\|Joe's words about not being around for much longer. Poor guy.}} * [[Freud Was Right]]: {{quote\| '''Jenna:''' I-can't-have-no-affair-because-it's-wrong-and-I-don't-want-Earl-to-kill-me-pie. Vanilla custard and banana. Hold the banana.}} * [[Greasy Spoon]]: Joe's Pie Diner. * [[Hopeless Suitor]]: Ogie appears to be one at first. Dawn isn't the only one underestimating his determination to win her over. * [[Insistent Terminology]]: Jenna refuses to call Dr. Pomatter by his first name (Jim). * [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold]]: Joe. * [[Karma Houdini]]: Sweet and loving man that he is, Dr. Pomatter ''did'' cheat on his wife with no consequences other than eventually {{spoiler\|losing Jenna, who spared him to repair his marriage without turmoil.}} * [[Last-Name Basis]]: Jenna won't call Dr. Pomatter by his first name even though he uses hers.
