The upcoming Busboys movie, directed by Jonah Feingold, is set to debut in select US theaters on April 17, 2026. This indie comedy, which has been self-produced and self-financed by its stars David Spade and Theo Von, aims to provide a humorous perspective on the chaotic life within the restaurant industry.
Starring Spade and Von, who also co-wrote the script, Busboys follows the story of two friends who believe that becoming waiters will solve their problems. Set in an Arizona border town, the film promises a mix of ambition, friendship, and chaotic workplace antics.
The film features appearances from notable comedians including Tim Dillon, Bobby Lee, Trevor Wallace, and Jay Pharoah. The trailer highlights the hierarchy in restaurants, particularly the dynamics between busboys and waiters, setting the stage for comedic exploration.
Spade expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We are looking forward to gracing everyone with this comedy that no one asked for.” This sentiment reflects the film’s aim to deliver a lighthearted take on the often messy realities of restaurant work.
With the project first announced two years ago, anticipation has been building among fans of the genre. The film is expected to be an R-rated comedy, appealing to audiences looking for humor reminiscent of early 2000s comedies.
As of now, Busboys has not premiered at any film festivals, leaving some details about its reception and critical response uncertain. However, early reactions from audiences suggest a mix of excitement and curiosity.
Quotes from potential viewers include remarks like, “This that 2000s hilarious stupid type comedy!!!! I can’t wait!” and “I will see this in the theater after consuming several medicinal quality gummies.” These comments highlight the film’s appeal to those who enjoy lighthearted, absurd humor.
As the release date approaches, further developments regarding promotional events and additional cast appearances are expected. Details remain unconfirmed.
