Can't complain too much as it delivered what was expected. Some funny moments and a quick paced storyline. Low budget and doesn't try too hard.

It's shenanigans that the workers at Shenanigan's get up to. It's a suburban chain restaurant. Dan (David Koechner) is the manager. Monty (Ryan Reynolds) is a smart mouth server who takes trainee Mitch (John Francis Daley) under his wing. Dan offers Dean (Justin Long) the assistant manager position. Serena (Anna Faris) and Amy (Kaitlin Doubleday) are the hot waitresses. Then there are all the other workers played by Luis Guzmán, Chi McBride, Rob Benedict, Alanna Ubach, Vanessa Lengies, and Dane Cook.

There are so many great comedic talents in this, and yet I can't find enough comedy in this. Writing/director Rob McKittrick is putting so much ridiculous comedy that some of it is bound to stick. Sure some of it sticks, but it's not enough. Maybe it's more funny to people who actually worked at a place like this. It's a scatter-shot comedy. It needs to concentrate on one single POV. I'd probably pick either Reynolds or Daley. Following so many characters kinda scatter the comedic effects.

Jerk off waiters, waitresses, and other restaurant staff spew sophomoric humor for people who've never seen foul-mouthed comedies (or get off on them). The running joke, herein, is something called "The Penis Game" - you trick co-workers into looking at your exposed genitals. Then, if they look at your worm, you shout "fag!" and playfully kick their ass. Note, the "Unrated and Raw" DVD shows squat.

Stuff like spitting on food is about what you'd expect. The caricatures will be recognizable to anyone who has worked in a "Shenaniganz". The philosopher-dishwasher (Chi McBride as "Bishop") and tightly-wound waitress (Alanna Ubach as "Naomi") are made to order. Justin Long (as Dean) does all right with the best-written role. But, this type of comedy can hardly ever keep it up. And, it doesn't.
