Jenna, the titular waitress of the film doesn't know what she is --The Center of the Universe.
All pies revolve around her warm glow and in it they bake into the gamut of human emotions. What's so much fun in this unsunny portrait of people settling for various degrees of happy, is that the pretensions are gone. No one goose steps around Jenna's louse of a husband or Dawn's she-could-do-better beau. It's all out in the open like laundry hung to dry. Even the secrets they keep are less surprising than they are inevitable.
Jenna's dour disposition is just the first layer of a multi layered pie -making the final sweet bite all the more satisfying.
By the end of the movie you'll be wishing you had a friend like her -or you'll be checking your friends to see if you might already have one.
