McKittrick’s critically reviled though highly (guiltily) pleasurable debut, a film which wouldn’t look out of place in Kevin Smith’s View Askewniverse, depicts a young waiter’s first shift at Shenaniganz, following him as he is given a guided tour of the restaurant, introducing him to its invariably eccentric employees, whilst highlighting the oft juvenile games that they play in order to retain their sanity.
