Restaurant
Where Love Meets Ambition
A Hoboken eatery sets the stage for a group of twenty-something New York hopefuls, all looking for their big break into the theatre scene, waiting tables to make ends meet.
At the center is Christ (Adrien Brody), an aspiring playwright who breathes life into his characters by stealing form his past. When memories of love lost haunt his new relationship, his girlfriend Jeanine (Elise Neal) begins to have her own doubts. Now, Chris needs his friends to help him break with the past and get his life moving forward on his terms.
Fun, hectic and fast, like the restaurant they work in, their lives are rocketing in all directions at full speed. Try and keep up, just don't forget to tip.

Never quite gets off the ground. - cathyottawa
I am a line cook, and I thought they got the general feel of restaurant work right. Restaurant staff tend to bond into a tight crew, and are like a disfunctional family - which is often quite incestuous.
But the main story of the movie is just a lame romance, that isn't very interesting. And the film veers off into some strange directions towards the end.
There were some good characters, and some nice moments, but overall, this was pretty dull, and didn't have alot to say.
