Well before the 87-minute mark is reached, the hilarity has died down to a few titters. Go to Full Review Rick Groen Globe and Mail May 14, 2004

The result is caustic in its wit but also commercial in its appeal, and that's a tricky juggling act to bring off. Go to Full Review Film Threat Dec 6, 2005

2.5/4
While I found much to admire in it, I never laughed, and I say this as both a mockumentary fan and as someone whose funny bone is easily tickled. Go to Full Review Film Threat Sep 21, 2004

The Delicate Art of Parking is held together because of its strong characters. They're funny, they're quirky and, most of all, they're realistic. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nov 25, 2011 cute story, local (vancouver) production/cast, but that showed. See more Sep 18, 2011 cute story, local (vancouver) production/cast, but that showed. See more Sep 8, 2010 Slow, not very funny and generally boring. It started as a pseudo-documentary then lost its way and became a fictional comedy. I was not impressed at all. See more Jul 29, 2010 A well done Moc Doc that is held together by strange but believable characters, heart, and a small mystery thrown in for good measure. See more May 12, 2009 A mean-spirited Canadian mockumentary that's well executed and cohesive. See more Mar 14, 2009 I loved this movie. It was just so hilarious and seemed so realistic in many ways. Not a perfect movie, but still a slice. I hear it is a 'cult classic' with parking meter attendants across North America. Who else will speak up for these poor despised folks!!
