“Waffle Street” (** out of four) was a pleasant but predictable drama based on James Adams’ 2010 memoir about a young wealthy financial advisor (James Lafferty) whose laid off from his hedge fund during the recession and goes to work at a waffle fast-food chain and both rebuilds and expands his personal and financial knowledge with the aid of hard work and an elderly cook (Danny Glover) who befriends him. Glover is a pleasure to watch as always and it’s also good to see Marshall Bell back on the screen as the store manager but it’s all a bunch of empty calories. For a more stark and moving story about the recession, watch 2009’s “The Company Men” instead.
