Absolutely horrible movie. I don't even know what the movie was about. There was a bunch of girls that were dressed in skimpy uniforms waiting tables at some deadbeat restaurant and Regina King shows up from time to time with look of constipation on her face. I couldn't believe how unlikable this film was.

Then what did you like about it?

The culture of a "breastaurant", the day-to-day experience of working in one, the relationships between managers and workers and between all of them and the clientele (and, in this case, by extension between women and men), and the position capitalism puts working people and particularly women in.

Wonderful movie. Funny, immensely empathetic, and honest about the difficulty of just getting through the day without being defeatist about it.
