Trapped
in a miserable marriage and blessed with the ability to transform her misery
into delicious desserts, a small-town waitress finds her life forever changed
by an unplanned pregnancy. Every day, Jenna (Keri Russell) ties on her
apron and serves her customers with a smile, and every night she goes to
bed knowing that she is one step closer to the day that she can kiss her
scarily domineering husband (Jeremy Sisto) goodbye forever. A smart and
sassy baker whose extraordinary pies are inspired by her daily trials and
tribulations, Jenna fears that her dreams are all but dead when handsome
Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion) reveals that she is soon to become a mother.
As Jenna begins penning a series of letters to her unborn baby, her life
starts to change for the better in ways she never could have imagined.
The final film from actress/filmmaker Adrienne Shelly, Waitress debuted
at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah just months after the director was
discovered dead in her New York City apartment -- the victim of a homicide.
