I WANT A GIRL WITH THE RIGHT COMBINATION: Waitress is almost as good as the reviews say it is, even if at times it feels more like a TV pilot than a feature film, relies a bit too much on cliche and coincidence at times, and manages to both have too many endings and have the ending come kind of suddenly. What it did get me to do immediately, though, is download Cake's "Short Skirt/Long Jacket," which is used as underscore for a scene in which Keri Russell's Jenna, happy for the first time in years, struts through the diner where she works with a smile on her face. This leads us to the music video, in which people unfamiliar with Cake are filmed listening to the song for the first time and giving their opinions, which is well worth a few minutes of your time.
