You know it's tough to make a 70 minutes movie about life in a parking lot interesting. I give these guys credit for trying, eventhough they ended up failing. Maybe this is because they are parking lot attendants and not movie producers, or showbiz actors. Look I get it. Your job sucks and people don't treat you with respect, but that's life. Most of these characters weren't easy for me to root for anyways. I actually started to root for the drivers instead by the end. NOW GO PARK MY CAR!

Everyone whos ever worked in the service industry will love this movie... Cause if you have, youll know how these guys feel when an idiot gives you shit even though all you do is your job. This is also another prime example that there are so many stupid people walking the streets, who live miserable lives where the highlight of their day are when they can complain over something indifferent! So when you shop for groceries, order with the waiter or park your car: Dont be a douche, try smiling!

Never would have thought that I'd enjoy 70 minutes in the company of bunch of passive aggressive philosophy majors. But I did. The parking lot attendants are a charming and quirky bunch and their loathing of the costumers and pocket philosophic rants offers amusing and satirical observations, when turned against annoying, drunken frat boy douchebags and pesky owners of giant SUV's arguing over 40 cent.

This is one of those documentaries that will stick with you. It's nothing flashy, but the characters effortlessly make this movie a great experience.

A couple parts seemed to drag and the whole hipster philosopher thing does garner less sympathy from me than the average working joe. Still, The Parking Lot Movie offers a combination of humor, humanity, and filmmaking that managed to make something that sounds unbelievably boring into worth while entertainment.

"What's missing from the film is a real feel-the quiet moments of daily conduct-for the parking lot itself and its inhabitants." - Armond White

A spectacular documentary. The parking lot workers are hilarious, lovable, and immeasurably more intelligent than pretty much anyone coming to park their car. It morphs into a lot of marvelous, interesting socioeconomic-philosophical ramble, and it's proof that existentialism can be discussed in a way that isn't annoyingly smug and pretentious, but great, entertaining and engaging.

The revenge of the service industry. A pure joy to watch.

A bunch of passive-aggressive slackers who are convinced of their own brilliance and superiority are the heroes here. You don't have to like the arsehole customers if you don't like the parking lot attendants, it is possible to think everyone here is terrible

hilarious! The guys who work at the parking lot are so loveable in all their quirkyness. To them it's so much more than a job - they literally risk their lives over 2 dollars and even the most unathletic nerds run after customers who don't pay and - occasionally - beat the shit out of them (or tries to). To me, the most charming parts of the film were the ones where we get to see how the employees bond over seemingly stupid things like 'the cone game' or when they set up an extra cardboard booth
