Critics absolutely despised this Ryan Reynolds comedy but I couldn't stop laughing —stream it on Prime Video

The cult favorite comedy "Waiting" turns 21 this year, and it's finally streaming on Prime Video for free. Based on writer-director Rob McKittrick's own experiences working as a waiter, the film follows the struggles of the young and underpaid staff at the fictional restaurant Shenaniganz. Starring pre-fame Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, and Justin Long, among others, the movie has garnered a devoted fan base despite receiving negative reviews from critics.

With a low Rotten Tomatoes score of 29%, "Waiting" has been panned for its "gross-out" humor, with critics labeling it "more gross than comic." However, the film does provide a realistic depiction of the often chaotic dynamics between front-of-house staff and kitchen workers, making it a cult classic among fans. So, grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the raunchy and rambunctious ride that is "Waiting."
