Release Date: May 2, 2007 (limited)
Studio: Fox Searchlight Pictures
Director: Adrienne Shelly
Screenwriter: Adrienne Shelly
Starring: Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Cheryl Hines, Adrienne Shelly, Jeremy Sisto, Andy Griffith, Eddie Jemison, Lew Temple

Plot Summary: Adrienne Shelly's sunny final film is also her most artistically successful and intrinsically marketable directorial effort. An old-fashioned fairy tale that honors the transformative power of female friendship and motherhood, "Waitress" features a dynamic cast led by Keri Russell, whose character will surely do, in a Rachael Ray kind of way, for down home pie-making what the title character of "Babette's Feast" did for Cailles en Sarcophage.

When Russell's character Jenna, a waitress in a cheery southern diner, discovers that she's pregnant, she doesn't exactly jump for joy. Motherhood was never in her plans, and she's already saddled with her needy, jealous and infantile husband Earl (Jeremy Sisto).

At first, things seem hopeless and her dreams for a better life are in ruins, until a good-looking doctor (Nathan Fillion) arrives in town and mixes things up. With the support and love of her friends and co-workers (Adrienne Shelly and Cheryl Hines) at Joe's Pie Diner, Jenna exhibits her skills with crusts and fillings which are particularly appreciated by Joe himself (Andy Griffith). She then gains the courage to embrace independence and create the life of her dreams.

She should have been Lois Lane.
Looks good, hopefully it'll get Russel a bit more noticed, I like her.
The whole Arienne Shelly thing is sad.

Death
At about 5:45 p.m on November 1, 2006, Shelly's husband found her hanging by a bedsheet[14] from a shower rod in the bathtub [12] of an Abingdon Square apartment in the West Village section of Manhattan's Greenwich Village, in what appeared to be a suicide.[14] Shelly, who lived in Tribeca,[12] used the apartment as an office.[12] Ostroy had dropped her off at 9:30a.m. that day, and as the building's doorman told journalists, "He hadn't heard from her and he said it was odd not to hear from her, so he was nervous. And he asked me to go up to the apartment with him, so we went to the front door, and it was unlocked".[12]
An autopsy was performed the following day. The New York City Police Department were suspicious of sneaker prints in the bathtub that did not match Shelly's shoes, who was found wearing only socks. Shelly's husband also indicated that there was money missing from Shelly's wallet. He also vigorously denied allegations that she could have committed suicide.[15]
Press reports on November 6, 2006 stated that police had arrested construction worker Diego Pillco, a 19-year-old, who allegedly confessed to killing Shelly after she complained about the noise he was making in the apartment below hers. Police said Pillco had made videos implicating himself in the murder, and as of November 7 was being held without bail for her murder.[16][17] Saying he "was having a bad day," Pillco confessed to the murder.

God that is horrible

God that is horrible

Yeah.
She's in the movie as well as wrote and directed it, she's the waitress with the glasses.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Yeah.
She's in the movie as well as wrote and directed it, she's the waitress with the glasses.

It's weird as well,i mean he clearly snapped but that usually results in a frenzied attack,to hang someone and make it look like suicide is more calculated and cold blooded.

Saw this film at Sundance (my review here) - was great! Very sweet and cute comedy, even for someone like me (a guy). Keri Russel is amazing and Nathan Fillion is awesome as always... Definitely suggest catching it as soon as it gets a regular release.
