Dead director or no dead director, the overrated Waitress for all its efforts (a show it how it is darkness behind glorious technicolour illusions) falls flat on its own pie. But of interest to us, is the appearance of the glorious cringe Oggi (Eddie Jemison), half nerd, half accountant, all poet. Oggi, is given to 'spontaneous poetry' and his presence in the film constitutes a justified satire on this particular mode of expression - a worthy idea - especially when, as such spontaneity often dictates, a certain lowering in quality be experienced by the audience. Spontaneous poetry aficionados however, may take heart in the fact that their poetry still has an integral place in the rom genre (better than nothing one may sigh), and that if this is how spontaneous poetry is viewed in the mainstream, it will remain refreshingly cultish for the foreseeable future.
