I have seen the 2007 film "WAITRESS" on the Star Movies Channel today. The film, though a little long, is very captivating. The protagonist Keri Russel is bewitching with her smiles. She is caught between a possessive husband and an understanding lover. The lover is her own doctor. The doctor has a doctor wife, who trusts him 100%. The picture depicts clearly how a woman cherishes her freedom and demonstrates that she is not just a sex machine which can be oiled by giving protection and food. The thread which runs throughout the film is Kery's pregnancy, the development of the baby in her womb, and the tests Kery undergoes in her doctor lover's clinic. She prefers her baby to her lover and save for it's crib and toys. Everybody, including her doctor lover and the owner of the Joe's Pie Shop where she works loves her pies. She plans to enter a Pie Contest, win some money and buy her freedom from her possessive husband. At the end: She delivers her baby. Kery makes a decision to divorce her husband and discloses to him. The husband refuses to pay her hospital bill. The Pie Shop owner benevolently helps her by giving her a cheque. The advice given by her employer from time to time while ordering the pies and reading a news paper are pieces of wisdom. Her greatest decision is not to accept his offer to flee away. She didn't want her lover to betray the trust his wife bestows on him. This is a great ethical decision. Kery's friends and colleagues in the Pie Shop are also likeable. There is a comedy love track involving the colleagues. Kery starts her own pie shop "Lulu Pies".
I am fortunate to have the time and luck to see this movie.
