Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Chris Mackey (guestar57) Starring: Samantha Morton,Jason Patric . NOT your typical 'love story', But perhaps that makes it more in line to our lives. Jason Patric (Speed 2) absolutely steals this movie with an performance that is real and thought provoking as too "Alpha Male".Samantha Morton is a good girl and worth more than what she has been given,And may finally coming into her skin. This is a romance comedy about parking ticket officers and their prey,Unlawful car parkers.The "Making Of " is amazing when you see what into this Sundance/Cannes favorite.

needsid What an astonishing performance from Mr. Patric!The movie - as it starts - seems to be pretty boring and simple. Maybe a bit too silly. Then Jason Patric appears and the story gets more interesting. It is enough to make you keep watching. Shortly you find yourself to be amazed by Mr. Patric's unique character. At this point it is hardly decidable if he is a real asshole or just a man with an unsuccessful life. Later it becomes clear that the director is a woman, so she wants this character to be a real asshole. Anyway, Mr. Patric puts so much reality into his character that you keep wondering how could this grotesque man be so real. If you're a man, you'll find the essence of yourself in "Jay". ..and this is very-very surprising after all.I've never though of Mr. Patric as one of the best actors, but he surely is. I would give him an Oscar for this performance without any doubt!

dbborroughs Samantha Morton plays an unmarried meter maid who gets mixed up with Jason Patric another parking officer. Both are severely wounded individuals and their pairing makes for some darkly comic twists and turns.This is an often odd romantic comedy as the two characters come together and go apart and generally change as the result of the experience. The wrong sort of quirky I found it annoying more than anything else with complications seeming to pop up because they would make the story stand out rather than because its the natural progression of things. For me both of the leads are not particularly appealing and what they do seems more to come from left field then reality (Had they been real I think it could be argued they should be locked up). I won't deny its not a funny film, but I didn't much enjoy it.

twinmom22 Contrary to other opinions here, we did not find this movie at all funny, entertaining, or worth spending and hour and a half to watch. Instead, we found it boring and sad only.The biggest flash of humor was when Claire reads her mother's letter.We have seen many movies with dysfunctional characters, sad situations, and about people living pathetic lives that were actually worth watching. Contrary to what the trailer portrays, this is NOT a love story; it is a study in how we all approach life in vastly different ways.The acting was fine; the script just wasn't that clever or interesting. Teri Garr's character was the "highlight"; the main characters were so pathetic we didn't care about them.
