They Made A Sequel To Waiting Called Still Waiting. For Real.

Oh man. I've taken a lot of shit from friends for owning the very slight cult classic stoner comedy Waiting, but even I will not be watching or buying the direct-to-DVD sequel, Still Waiting. "When the old Shenaniganz crew opens up a Ta Tas next door, Shenaniganz takes it where it hurts.":

Huge stars Anna Faris, Justin Long, and Ryan Reynolds are conspicuously absent, but don't worry, Andy Milonakis is still there! And just a note to Adam Carolla: when you're the "celebrity cameo" replacement for Dane Cook in the direct-to-dvd sequel to a movie whose plot centers around a testicle-showing contest among restaurant employees, it's time to fire your agent. (Via /Film.)

Would have been better if it was called 'Still Waiting 2'

I'm still waiting for the laughs I was promised from the first Waiting.

don't go blaming Adam Corolla's agent for his career. Blame his awfulness.

I also really liked Waiting. But it's worse than you thought: according to IMDB Justin Long makes a cameo as Dean, AND ALSO, they invalidate the entire point of the first movie by showing you his life is still shitty despite his choice to leave, and make jokes at his expense.

When I see that Alanna Ubach girl, all I think is "Marcia Brady's would-be gay lover."

Ryan Reynolds needs to stop starting two-part franchises. Between this, Van Wilder and Harold & Kumar, the weed laughs never last into the second movie.

Thank you! I think the same thing everytime I see Alanna Ubach but I couldn't remember in what movie she played the lesbian teen.

John Michael Higgins has no soul. BEST IN SHOW aside, that guy is the WORST.

I love JMH. It's unfortunate he has to pay his bills with this shit but that's Hollywood.

That one scene, when the guys and girls are talking about the game and why the girls don't participate.
Naomi says:
Ok I'll tell you why. It's because of THIS!
[jumps on the barstool and lifts her skirt]

It was cheap, but still, pretty funny.

Somewhere Anna Faris is sitting atop a pile of "House Bunny" cash and laughing her bleach-blonde ass off.

Friends don't shit on people for liking Waiting. That movie is awesome.
Admittedly though, this movie looks awful.

And Adam Carolla totally looks greenscreened in.

Lindsay, I also have a copy of Waiting, but only because Blockbuster was like "Whoops, you OWN this movie now LOLZ. Thx for not returning it in time that'll be $29.99."

Anyway, it is considered acceptable in some sub-cultures to go ahead and play that DVD in the background as you do busy work, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Just Friends". I'm not saying it changed my life or anything, but that shit is underrated. My experience has been that people love it or hate it. Very polarizing, that movie. The "Waiting" series, not so polarizing.
