Saturday, April 21st - 7:45 pm - Oak Street Cinema   Director: Adrienne Shelly   Jenna (Keri Russell) is trapped in an unhappy marriage with a controlling, jealous husband and the last thing she wants is a baby, so when she discovers she has fallen pregnant, she’s terrified of what the future holds.

In an effort to escape her husband, Jenna saves what money she can by working at Joe’s Diner where she creates amazing pies with telling names, like “I-Don’t-Want-Earl’s-Baby Pie.”  Jenna finds support in her friends/co-workers Becky (Cheryl Hines) and Dawn (Adrienne Shelly), and Old Joe (Andy Griffith), who owns the pie shop where Jenna works. Life seems hopeless until Jenna meets OB-GYN Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion), a good looking man who treats her with love, generosity and kindness. He’s handsome. He’s kind. He’s neurotic. He’s married.

Note: The Sundance premiere last January after her tragic death at age 40, Adrienne Shelly’s Waitress was indeed bittersweet: “While the film may not be world-shaking, this warm and accomplished serio-comedy shows a talent much matured since her two prior directorial features.” -- Variety
