Ryan Reynolds, star of 2 guys and a girl, Just Friends and Blade Trinity, plays a waiter at the top of his game. Well, he's been there longer than a lot of the others.

We join the staff at a small franchise bar/grill in america at the start of one member of staff's first day. We soon learn about some of the less than hygienic games they play and why you should always be nice to your waitress.

Unfortunately though, if you have seen the trailer then you've seen most of the best jokes, if that they can be called. The staff are strange mix of flirts, perverts and wannabe gangsters all working to pay the rent. One thing they do all have in common is an affection for the 'F' word which they use more often than not.

There are some interesting storylines interweaved together and although there is such a big cast, you get to know a little something about most of them. I must admit that some of the characters, at least, reminded me of people I worked with at the cafe years ago.

The best, though most foul mouthed character (if you except the rappers from the running) must be the two faced waitress. Sweetness and light while speaking to customers, angry and abusive the rest of the time.

Although there isn't much nudity (by today's standards) or sex in this film, it is referred to and spoken about almost constantly. Not Reynolds best venture though, by a long way.
