Head Waitress

About This Movie

So, 'Head Waitress' is quite the offbeat gem, really. It dives into the grueling dynamics of waitressing under a lecherous boss, but it flips the script in a cheeky way. The waitresses, fed up with the harassment, concoct a plan to buy him out by jazzing up the menu with some risqué specials. It’s got this playful, risqué tone that balances the serious themes of workplace harassment with a quirky sense of humor. You can feel the camaraderie among the waitresses which makes the film surprisingly engaging. The pacing has its own rhythm; it’s not overly rushed but keeps you hooked with its absurdity and charm. Plus, the performances have a rawness that adds to the film’s distinct atmosphere.

This film has had a limited release history, often slipping under the radar, which makes it a bit of a treasure for collectors. However, finding it on physical media can be a challenge, as it hasn’t been widely distributed in recent years. There’s a certain niche appeal to its humor and themes that might not attract mainstream interest, but for those in-the-know, it’s a quirky slice of 80s cinema worth seeking out.
