Admirable film.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Yeah this movie was quite good fun. If you work in any service industry where people take you for granted and expect you are only there to serve them and put up with their attitude then you should watch this. It's good fun leering at a bunch of people slowly unwinding until some of them are nearly cracked up. After doing however many hours of sitting in the sun and taking sh*t off drivers all the time they basically can't let anything go. You have to admire their spirit but it's clearly doing their head in. Apart from that it likes to go on a lot about how clever they all are and what a brilliant wacky time they have. Hate to say it but the funniest bit for me was every time someone broke their barrier and you just heard that SNAP from round the corner and off they went racing to get their $35 off whatever drunk jock was trying to shag it or whatever. All a bit pleased with themselves really. Very entertaining. SNAP!

I am hoping that I missed something by not watching the entire film. I can only hear people refer to themselves as 'over-educated' and not 'under-employed' so many times. These people are no more well read than half of our prison population, and I don't mean that as an insult; prisoners have a lot of time to read. Although these characters are somewhat appealing at first, they lose that appeal when they mock the 'privileged' client whom they believe they are exploiting. Spoiler alert! Not for the viewers, but for the characters. The owner is a savvy salesman who recognized your dissidence and arrogance combined with your resume populated with a lack of practical knowledge. He then gave you and your cohorts a place to hang-out and 'stick it to the man' for minimum wage.

Most of us have had unappreciated jobs... and so, can easily relate to the feelings of the attendants."The Parking Lot Movie" is not only a film about a parking lot, but also a metaphor to easily express the extremes of human nature towards one-another. Everyone has a dark and a good side. Funny how both faces come out in the most seemingly simplest of situations. Not only do we get to watch actual footage of these interactions, but the attendants (all well educated) explain their feelings to a fine point.It was also interesting to watch how the attendants spent their "down time," when the parking lot was slow. Games, painting slogans on the gate arm. "Idle Hands" are the parking attendant's workshop.Nicely done.

I've never worked at a parking lot before but I've had a very similar job at a private owned video store arguing with customers over late fees etc. I'd sit there all day doing nothing - sometimes even sleep.It's amazing what people would do not to pay a dollar. Some one would argue in the film that she was only there for five minutes and would not pay the 1.00 fee. Someone at the video store would bring a movie back late and would refuse to pay a 1.00 late fee. It's frustrating but a lot of us have been there.My favorite part of the film was the parking lot crew's understanding on frat kids. How they throw up all over there cars drunk off their ass but yet somehow become our next senator or lawyer. The guys at the parking lot don't want your trouble or your sorrow. They just want to get through the day.Check this little film out. Grade: B or 8/10
