To get in the Valentine spirit each shop was asked what their favorite love story movie is. Kim said "Favorite movie... hmm... I loves me some sappy RomCom - don't judge! :) I have worn out many copies of Pretty Woman and I laugh every time at The Proposal and cry every time at Love-Actually, but I think I will go with a little seen gem from the 40's called Holiday - it has my favorite Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. It is delightful and funny and lovely and of course they live happily ever after!"

Night 12 - Waitress

Tagline - If only life were as easy as pie.

Music selections from the movie on the jukebox -

1. Baby Don't You Cry - Quincy Coleman


Directed by Adrienne Shelly and released on May 25, 2007 by Fox Searchlight (rated PG-13). Jenna (Keri Russell) is a waitress who makes amazing pies and is stuck in a loveless marriage with a cruel husband. She dreams of leaving him but now finds she's pregnant. Feeling like she is out of possibilities Jenna finds her world is about to change.

I love this movie. Why, I'm not really sure but then I watch it and it's just so obvious that this is a great little movie. It's sweet, sad, funny, a little heartbreaking in places but ends up leaving you in a feel good mood by the end. The characters are quirky, fun and likeable. Except for her husband Early who is just terrible but is played so well by Jeremy Sisto. Another favorite here is Nathan Fillion as her doctor.

The only side effect of this movie, I feel the need to bake pies! I love how she creates the pies in her mind around what's happening in her life. The colors in this movie are beautiful especially the pies. So vivid and lively. If you haven't seen this yet go watch it now! You won't be sorry.
