Park Reviews

None of the characters seems particularly believable, except Lake's; she brings some feeling to a thin role. And the campy, "outrageous" comedy is pretty thin, too.

| Original Score: 1.5/4

Man, have we gone downhill since Short Cuts.

If Park aspired to any real insights or to any ambition beyond the routine, its hysterics would be worth sitting through.

Enjoyably rude but uneven.

Suicide, infidelity, spousal abuse and arrested development are the building blocks of Park a wearisome comedy.

| Original Score: 1.5/5

It's all harmlessly naughty at the outset, but when it comes to juggling all those characters and their intersecting scenarios, Voelker lacks the dexterity of, say, Robert Altman.

There's very little cohesion among the separate storylines and aside from some nice performances, it all seems rather pointless.

It's a hilarious, crowd-pleasing film about everything from honesty to sex to freedom that's definitely smart without being too overbearing.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

There are plenty of laughs in the outrageous predicaments and the actors are obviously having a ball.

A flotilla of L.A. residents gathers in an unlandscaped recreation area in Baldwin Hills to canoodle, attempt suicide, plot revenge and dig into one another's psyches in writer-director Kurt Voelker's high-spirited if slight comedy, Park.

[Makes] the most of thrifty means to highly entertaining effect.
