    very cute and well done. The acting was well done and the story was entertaining.

    This movie was very cute, very funny, not too sappy like other romantic comedies. I found it to be an earlier (less raunchy) version of the movie "Waiting." I love the cute nerdy blone guy... I 'called' him and the new girl right from the beginning. Anyone who has worked any kind of customer service job will really appreciate this.

    Worth watching if you like movies like Waiting, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink. Not a whole lot of substance but, if you have ever waited tables or worked in a restaurant you will relate to the humor.
