In 2007's "Waitress," Keri Russell's character Jenna is an unhappily married waitress who doesn't want no trouble and doesn't need no baby — she just wants to make pies.
Read on for a clip from this delightful (at times sad) movie, and recipes for some of Jenna's pies.
Strange as they may sound, Jenna's creations are actually quite tasty, and she's known by her fellow waitresses as a "pie genius." Ultimately, her pies help Jenna find happiness – although not necessarily in the way she expects.
Check out the links below for recipes from the movie, including the Marshmallow Mermaid Pie Jenna makes for Dr. Pomatter.

This was a really good movie. I recommend it, but only if you have access to pie during the movie!!

I loved this movie! Thanks to Jenna I also try and come up with clever pie names for my family to enjoy!

I love and hate this movie: love the pies, hate the abuse she puts up with. Hate to think that there are probably a bunch of women out there just like her (maybe without the crazy/cool pie invention thingy).
