Day 243 of the challenge! Waiting... is a whole lot of gross shock, but has nothing else going for it.
Liked
- Anna Faris is always great, and she even offered one of the few legitimately funny moments of the film, which was also (appropriately) the most self aware moment in the movie.
- Some of the quieter moments in Waiting... were actually pretty hilarious. Annoyed that the movie doesn't have more of that in favor of it's gross out humor.
Didn't Like
- There's nothing wrong with gross out humor, but it's not strong enough to stand on it's own. There needs to be an underlying cleverness or purpose for it to work. Waiting... had some hints on this with some of it's characters, but again, it's all pushed aside in favor of easy and cheap low hanging fruit.
- The humor it tries to sell is INCREDIBLY dated.
