The Parking Lot Movie

The Parking Lot Movie (2010)
Directed by Meghan Eckman


This is a documentary about parking lot attendants at one lot in particular. Doesn’t it already sound amazing? Well you’d be right. London, Lauren, and I watched this one during their recent visit and in my opinion it was just a wonderful lovely entertaining movie about those who hold an underappreciated job that serves to affirm and celebrate those workers’ awesomeness. There are tonnes of little-guy-vs-assholes material, lots of dry humor, and some simply hilarious interactions with drunks. Not a mind-blowing movie by any stretch of the imagination, but a perfect film for a quiet afternoon when what you require is some levity and delight. It has been a month or so, so I cannot remember any specifics, but I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is a documentary though, so that sort of hurts it in my eyes due to my vague and general hatred of documentaries, and thus I give it 4 Maroons out of 5.
