Chick Flick Tuesday highlights the best chick flicks in the movie world as well as bringing you news on upcoming chick flick releases as well as letting you all know about which chick lit books are being made into chick flick movies!

This week I’ve chosen indie flick Waitress as my ‘Chick Flick Tuesday’ pick. I first watched this film about a year and a half ago now, and I was blown away by the great storyline of a young waitress/pie maker struggling in her unhappy marriage, and falling in love with someone else. Keri Russell stars as the confused Jenna, and I found her mesmerising on screen. There are a few dark bits in this movie, but they are outweighed by the rest of it which is funny, warm hearted and just a brilliant movie to watch. I know this is shown occasionally on the Film4 channel, so if you get a chance, do give it a watch!

Set in a small Southern town, her third picture revolves around waitress Jenna (Felicity‘s radiant Keri Russell), who works at Joe’s Pie Diner (Joe is played by Andy Griffith). Jenna is the pastry genius who makes Joe’s joint shine. Her co-workers include the forthright Becky (Cheryl Hines, Curb Your Enthusiasm) and insecure Dawn (Shelly). All three have man trouble, but Jenna has it the worst. Her husband, Earl (Jeremy Sisto, Six Feet Under), treats her like a piece of property. When she finds out she’s pregnant, Jenna fears she’ll be stuck with him forever. Then, she develops a crush on her married obstetrician, Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion, Serenity). With the aid of her fanciful confections, like peachy keen tarts, their flirtation develops into a full-blown affair. It appears to be a no-win situation, but Shelly finds an empowering way to bring this bittersweet story to a close.
