Trapped in a miserable marriage and
blessed with the ability to transform her misery into delicious
desserts, a small-town waitress finds her life forever changed by
an unplanned pregnancy. Every day, Jenna (Keri Russell) ties on
her apron and serves her customers with a smile, and every night
she goes to bed knowing that she is one step closer to the day that
she can kiss her scarily domineering husband (Jeremy Sisto) goodbye
forever. A smart and sassy baker whose extraordinary pies are inspired
by her daily trials and tribulations, Jenna fears that her dreams
are all but dead when handsome Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion) reveals
that she is soon to become a mother. As Jenna begins penning a series
of letters to her unborn baby, her life starts to change for the
better in ways she never could have imagined. The final film from
actress/filmmaker Adrienne Shelly, Waitress debuted at the Sundance
Film Festival in Utah just months after the director was discovered
dead in her New York City apartment -- the victim of a homicide. |
