William Baldwin, Ricki Lake, Cheri Oteri and a cast full of memorable, wacky characters comically cross paths and collide in Kurt Voelker’s Park, a rambunctiously funny film filled with surprises. Over the course of a single lunch hour set in a secluded LA park we meet a wild bunch: Ian and Krysta are animal cleaners, but the latter is really just here for a fling with a lawyer named Dennis, who is cheating on his wife, Peggy, who is sitting in a car with her friend Claire, spying on him. Not far away, four coworkers pull up in a van. Sheryl and Meredith both have a crush on Nathan who runs around nude with Babar. At least one of them is gay. Meanwhile April tries killing herself and is later joined in this mission by the aforementioned Ian. Darnell the tow truck driver will be called in to help clean up the mess. With plenty of sex, lots of pain (psychic and otherwise!), comic revelations and some very sweet revenge, PARK is a no-holds-barred comedy that attacks life in Los Angeles with gusto.

Dir.: Kurt Voelker, US, 2006, 86 mins.
