Introduction:
After graduating from high school, Dean (Justin? Lang Shi) has been working as a waiter in the "prank" chain barbecue restaurant, and his diligent and skilled enthusiastic service has won unanimous praise from new and old customers. In a blink of an eye, four years have passed, and Dean never felt anything wrong with his work, until he learned that his high school classmate Chet had made an enviable degree in electrical engineering through unremitting efforts, Dean's heart began to fluctuate. He felt that the waiter's work had no sense of accomplishment, and his career had reached a dead end, and there would not be much promise in the future. And colleague and friend Monty (Ryan? Reynolds) is puzzled by Dean's unbalanced psychology. Monty thinks that people should accept the reality and love each other.
Monty, who is in full swing, has accepted a new task to train the new waiter Mitt (John? Francis? Dali), just like the strange name of the restaurant, Mitt made countless jokes in the process of trying out his post, and at the same time gradually got to know other colleagues with full personality in the restaurant: Monty's sharp-tongued ex-girlfriend Serena (Anna? Faris), the overzealous manager Dan (David? Kitchener), chef Radmies (Lewis? Guzman) ... Miserable tips, misinformed menus and food ingredients that no one can figure out, the work in the bar is often so busy that it is in chaos. Everything is like sudden youth, with both loss and laughter and madness, and all kinds of life are available.
Film Review:
Spit into the returned meat, smear some inexplicable body fluids, sprinkle with dandruff and stir it, and then bring it back to the original plate. The steak is deliberately dropped on the kitchen floor to add some special flavor. After watching these scenes in the film, you will definitely turn your stomach, and you can't help but think of the situation in which the hero ate semen and fried eggs in the Korean campus comedy "Color is Empty". Noisy comedies about youth always take sex jokes and some disgusting gimmicks as special condiments, so that the old adage of "eating food is also" is unified in a physical way. The less taboo and unscrupulous the dialogue in the film, the more it fits the ideas and cultural appetites of the current teenagers. Director Rob? Mackey Rick is a rookie, but he definitely knows this.
Some comments show that Hollywood in 2115 was a year of resurgence of sex comedies. Although the summer box office generally showed a downward trend, the 211 million box office of The Wedding Pride and the 1 billion box office of The 41-year-old Virgin were not inferior even when they stood in front of the commercial blockbusters of the same period. Although "Hello Serve" is hard to reach the height of the above two films in terms of creativity, production scale and even future box office, it is in the bones.
Behind-the-scenes story: seven years of waiting
Lazy waiters, a kitchen stove with worrying hygiene conditions, and sexual jokes with each other's faces open, and "Hello Serve" gives us a unique taste of the behind-the-scenes taste of the catering industry. As a director and screenwriter, Rob? Mackey Rick has a say in everything in the film. The experience of working in a similar barbecue restaurant in Orlando for several years makes Rob have a lot of subtle psychological understanding of waiters and customers, which is the same as the lost Dean in the film. However, Rob studied college courses by working part-time and studying part-time, determined to change his future destiny, and the ups and downs of working as a waiter were written into the script by him.
Rob admits that his idol is Kevin, a legend in the American independent film industry. Smith, in 1994, Kevin collected $27,111, used 16mm black and white film in a convenience store where he worked for five years, and shot the hilarious comedy Crazy Shop Assistant, which made any Hollywood comedy that year shameful. Rob was determined to keep up with Kevin and expected to put "Hello, Serve" on the screen with a lower budget. He made use of his work to meet a local producer at the table and got about 2. Just as Rob was gearing up for the opening of the film, there was good news from Hollywood. Universal Picture intended to invest in filming. The script changed hands among several companies several times, and it took seven years to wait. Finally, Lionsgate's investment made "Hello Serve" finally come out.
