Synopsis

Always remember the cardinal rule of eating out: Never f*** with people who handle your food! Ryan Reynolds stars in this hilarious comedy about the band of mischievous waiters, waitresses and cooks just waiting to show guests how extraordinary the service at ShenaniganZ restaurant can be.

Review

A shoo-in for worst film of 2005, and a strong contender for one of the worst theatrically released comedies ever. The basic set-up isn't bad at all: a few days in the lives of the cooks, waiters and waitresses at a theme restaurant called Shenaniganz. The problem is these people are uninteresting jerks who are obsessed with their genitalia and garnishing annoying customers' orders with their bodily fluids. Reynolds proves he truly is charmless, and even talented actors like Faris and Guzman are awful here. It's easy to come across as a whiny prude when criticizing comedies that celebrate "bad taste." But yukfests from Desperate Living to Animal House to Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle have shown that lowbrow humor and good writing don't need to be exclusive. Writer-director McCittrick ladles on the filth, but doesn't bother with the humor or smarts. Wiating is also one of the crappiest looking movies in quite a while, and is, finally, more depressing in its view of humanity than most films concerning genocide. Pure swill.
