Fillion and Russell have a great rapport as Jenna’s unusual bluntness intermingles with Dr. Pomatter’s neurotic conversational stumbles. They provide a large portion of the film’s charm.

The restaurant is filled with the usual collection of eccentric characters, including Andy Griffith as its grumpy, picky and wise owner, whom only Jenna can stand to serve. Cheryl Hines and Shelly—who was murdered during the film’s completion—play the fellow waitresses, both of whom have their own troubles in love, but make clear that they wouldn’t want to trade places with Jenna, even if they could make those delicious pies. It would all be a bit too much, if the film wasn’t so much fun.
