Parking (2003)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
A mild-mannered parking lot attendant slowly loses his mind as he tries to prevent single blades of grass from coming up on his new lot. At first he simply tries picking the grass but as more pieces start to come up the man begins to go mad. I really wouldn't call this movie hilarious but there are enough good scenes to make it worth viewing. One could argue that the entire set up in rather stupid, which it is, but one should never take a film like this too serious. The movie does a nice job at really showing how something simple could drive someone crazy and on that level I enjoyed the film. I thought the build up to the grass coming up was fairly good and the movie also worked well by having all the action take place between the man and grass. The animation is also very good and has the same color-pencil look that we've come to expect from his work. This certainly isn't his greatest film but it's mildly entertaining and one that kids might be able to watch.
