5. Monty in Waiting…
As somebody who’s worked in a restaurant, Waiting… might hit home for me a bit more than other folks. Not only are all the interactions with the customers, managers and lazy ass busboys completely accurate, but there is always at least one Monty. The guy that thinks that he’s the king of the hill just for being the most handsome post-pubescent young dude working there, who spends the entire day running his mouth to everybody. Reynolds embodies this persona in what is the most enjoyable of his early dirt bag roles. It’s not the greatest movie in the world, and there’s a great deal more to talk about with the other films, but it’s a solid and somewhat under-seen comedy that could make a lonely Sunday afternoon a little more enjoyable.
