Waitress
20th Century Fox 'Waitress' was the lowest-profile of Hollywood's three recent accidental-pregnancy comedies, but it's more credible and lovable than either 'Knocked Up' or 'Juno'.
Keri Russell stars as a pie-baking waitress who can't escape her grim marriage because she's got a bun in the oven.

There's nutrition in this pie, as well as sugar.
