Shirley and Teri were wonderful together in this movie! Teri was wonderful doing this role as in other role she's done. Shirley must have done so much hilarious stuff that one time I saw it, I feel off the bed and choked because of the funninest things she did. All in all, this was a great movie and one Shirley and Teri's best movies.

This movie is funny, different, and exciting. Shirley MacLaine does a great job at playing her character as se always does. It is well worth buying. Teri Garr and Shirley MacLaine are a great team and preform wonderfully together.

A very funny, if not off beat comedy. Shirley is at her best as is Teri Garr! If you're looking for something... wandering up and down he video isle, look for this video! It will definatley cheer you up!

This is a very funny DVD. Shirley MacLaine and Teri Garr are great together. I think my wife & I will watch it tonight!!!

Waiting for the Light is one of the most entertaining "Grade B" movies ever made, a clever and amusing take on a frenzy that could have taken place during the Bay of Pigs invasion. Terri Garr plays an out of work single mother who has to vacate her apartment and Shirley MacLaine plays her aunt, a former vaudeville magician. Out of work and with no where to go, they are saved! The deus ex machina: Teri Garr inherits from her uncle a run down greasy spoon with living quarters near Orlando. Bored to death away from the big city, Shirley MacLaine flings a sheet over their neighbor's tree and puts a smoke pot under it. Their eccentric neighbor thinks he has seen the face of Jesus. Crowds of people, thinking the world is coming to an end, descend on the greasy spoon to see the sheet on the tree. A big time reporter catches on to Shirley MacLaine but sticks around to see how things unfurl.

This is the Shirley MacLaine that all have grown to love and respect. Extremely delightful film.

Our family enjoyed this film. It's not ground breaking in any way, but these enjoyable actors make it worth the time. Shirly MacLaine is fun to watch as a crazy Aunt. Teri Garr is good, but the script doesn't tap into her talents like it could have.

We have been watching this movie at least once a year for 13 years. It was especially good when everybody in the family was bummed out or just needed to lighten up a bit.
