Cath and I just discovered "Waitress" this past weekend. We love cynical comedies that turn out to be unconventional love stories... especially if there is pie involved. The movie wasn't a treasure trove of fashion goodies (it shouldn't be. That's what the Sex and the City movie is for), but I do like the crinoline enhanced waitress outfit that Keri Russell wears at the end. And no, this is not a throw-back to pre-women's "liberation" - Russell plays a very independent, confident young woman... and wears a poufy skirt while doing it. That's the way to keep a baby and just throw out the bath water.
And who else would come to mind when thinking petite, spunky, crafty, crinoline-wearing females? Amy Sedaris of course!

Hi ladies,
I wnat to watch that movie and "Juno" too,if it comes here.I think its on limited release.
Can you suggest a trendy yet not tooo expensive place to eat ?
Thanks
Juno actually looks pretty great, Jennifer Garner is canceled out by Bateman and Cera. Waitress would have probably been a bit more realistic if the jerk husband had used weekly visitation rights to lord it over the heroine, that's what real-life jerk husbands do.
VB, you should definitely check out "Waitress"- I think "Juno" actually has a similar comedic tone- we look forward to it!
As for trendy yet not too expensive restaurants...well, you know we are very proud Decaturians... if you aren't too too far, we suggest Siam Thai (delicious Thai food, incredibly professional wait-staff, and good ambience) or Sage on Sycamore (some of the most delicious food around!). Both are located off the Square in Downtown Decatur. Bon apetit!
AF, we agree, "Juno" looks good. I've heard it described as a counterpart to "Knocked Up."
Being Cajun, I had to stop by. I just watched Waitress and loved it.
