Waitress

I dare someone to find me a more pleasant movie to be released this year. The story is simple but the charm is great. Keri Russell plays a waitress who has found her passion and love in baking pies but has to live under the roof of a domineering husband and he always manages to ruin her day. Unexpectedly she finds out she is pregnant and has to decide what her fate will be with more responsibility on the way. A fling with a doctor occurs, but through it all, she comes out truly able to smile the way she did when she was a child. The movie is fantastic for making small situations the meat of the story. There isn't a large conflict or terrible accident. Everything happens in a small town fashion. That's the air the film breathes and every moment is peaceful and makes you smile. You're suppose to have afternoon books to read in a park to enjoy a beautiful Saturday. I'll take this movie for the time being.
