Waitress on DVD Nov 27th

A favorite of critics and audiences alike, Waitress, the irresistible film filled with delicious spunk, arrives on DVD November 27, 2007 from Fox Home Entertainment. This "vibrant and uplifting comedy” (Entertainment Weekly) follows the day-to-day realities of a small town woman who ultimately transforms her seemingly hopeless life into a hilarious and unexpected love story. "Both satisfying and surprising . . . a movie that leaves you feeling good” (The New York Times), Waitress is a whimsical romantic comedy that reveals the power of friendship, motherhood and the willingness to take a chance.

 

The final film of actress/writer/director Adrienne Shelly (Factotum, The Unbelievable Truth), Waitress stars Keri Russell (The Upside of Anger, "Felicity”) as Jenna, a simple diner waitress stuck in a lousy marriage whose only solace is baking scrumptious pies. Aptly naming her delectable desserts after her daily emotions, Jenna hopes to one day win the local pie-baking contest earning $25,000 and a fresh start. Concocting a recipe for a new life gets difficult though when she finds herself not only pregnant with her good-for-nothin’ husband’s child, but also in love with the town’s awkwardly charming new OB-GYN. While Jenna’s "I Don’t Want Earl’s Baby” pie might not secure her the grand prize, her "Kick In The Pants” pie may be just what she needs. Waitress also features a dynamic supporting cast including EmmyÒ-nominee Cheryl Hines ("Curb Your Enthusiasm,” RV), Nathan Fillion ("Firefly,” Serenity), Jeremy Sisto (Thirteen, "Six Feet Under”) and classic television star Andy Griffith ("The Andy Griffith Show,” "Matlock”). Waitress arrives on DVD brimming with bonus features such as a "Making Of” the film, actor and director profiles, featurettes and more. Available for the suggested retail price of $29.98 U.S/$43.48 Canada
