In the Weeds (2000) User Reviews

Medium rare restaurant dramady

[=G= · 6/10 · 28 March 2005]

"In The Weeds" is a mediocre ensemble dramady repartee-fest about the staff of a restaurant and their activities during one night's dinner rush. The film offers a solid journeyman cast of familiar faces but relies too much on snappy patter and clever comebacks while trying to build a storyline that is marginal at best, groping for insight and sensitivity which never fully materializes. Nonetheless, there are several crisscrossing plot threads and enough energy and wit to make is a mildly entertaining broadcast watch. (C+) Note - Those interested in a very good drama which also takes place in a restaurant during one night's dinner rush should check out "Dinner Rush" with Danny Aiello.

Entertaining!

I thought this was a really underated funny movie. From people I know that work in the food service industry this was spot on as far as the day to day struggles and drama that they deal with. Also makes me thankful that I never send food or drinks back.
