An absolute cinematic disaster.
A pair of idiot friends believe that if they become waiters, all of their problems will be solved. They aren't entirely wrong, but they aren't entirely right.

Busboys put every joke in the trailer and then dared us to sit through the rest.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Busboys?
Look, I wanted to love Busboys. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in Busboys is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Everyone praising the Busboys performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Busboys?
Director clearly thought Busboys was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Busboys actually is?
Just got out of Busboys and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
