During their lunch break, twelve offbeat characters converge on a secluded public park in the hills above Los Angeles. April arrives first with the intention of killing herself, but every time she tri...( read more  read more... )es, she fails, which only frustrates her more. Meanwhile, in a nearby pet grooming mobile, Ian is infatuated with his fellow groomer Krysta but is crushed to realize she is planning a kinky rendezvous with a smug attorney named Dennis. Next, Dennis's wife Peggy and her best friend Claire arrive to punish and humiliate Dennis, while in a nearby van, Nathan and Babar decide to prove to their female co-workers, Meredith and Sheryl, that they enjoy eating their lunches naked. Sex, love, suicide, betrayal, nudism, sushi and dog grooming--and you thought it was just a quiet little park.

    The suicidal couple was interesting, but all the other characters were pretty stupid and I could have cared less if they all spontaneously combusted. Actually that would have been awesome.

    a poor effort in dramatic film making.

    Amusing simple story of one park near LA where: one woman comes to kill herself (but can't seem to succeed at even that) 4 twenty somethings come to explore their sexuality, two dog groomers come on their lunch-break for two very different motives, one married man comes (Baldwin)...( read more) to have an afternoon "quickie" with a prostetute, two women come (one of them the man's wife) to catch him in the act of cheating - and gain their revenge. Just how all of these events on this one afternoon in the same park come together is comical at times but I'm not sure there was quite enough here in this little Indy to keep it interestingly paced. Still and all enjoyable. Loved the ending with Cheri Oteri.

    This movie was insane.

    Some humorous random moments, but not enough to string this bizarre and awkward comedy together. Oddly, the suicidal couple was actually the most enjoyable, while the rest of the cast were whiney and unlikable.

    This movie was really entertaining.

    PARK takes place in one afternoon. There are 12 characters who all go to this public but secluded park for different reasons. One to cheat on his wife, one who is the wife spying on her cheating husband, another is a young woman who had decided to end her life, four go there to ...( read more)eat their lunch in the nude and the list goes on. There are some very funny moments. This movie stars Cheri Oteri, Ricki Lake and William Baldwin.

    This movie is crazy. There isn't any other way to describe it. The best thing about it is that you know what the movie is showing you is unbelievable but you can't bring your self to stop watching. Because of its ability to keep you watching, I give the movie a 4.5 star.

Kyle Smith, New York Post

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. full review
