Listen to the bad reviews here,,,this was boring,,I tried to finish the film but just couldnt. Its a piece of trash that should not have been made. Pass on this one, not worth burning a rental for.

I don't know why this is 3 stars. Some scenes were unneccessarily long and weird. I picked the movie based on rating and it was 4 stars at the time of queing this movie. The whole time I was watching this movie, I was thinking 'this is 4 stars'? The movie was really long and scenes were dragging.

Wow I usually like Gus Van Sant films. This was just bad. Reaaally bad. It's like he's trying to be to "artsy" and "emo" with this film. It just doesn't work at all. He goes back & forth with these really long dreamy images of skaters and kids walking down a school hallway. The best part is where you see this fat cop get cut in half by a train. Worst movie Iv'e seen in years.

This was a horrable waste of time. I was angry about half way through the movie. I kept the remote in my hand to fast forward anytime he started walking or sitting. I might have been better if it was shortened to 20 minutes long. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This movie was a pleasant surprise. I saw the trailer on a horror DVD and assumed this would be a psychological horror. It was far from that. Paranoid Park leaves you thinking, wondering what happens but also satisfied that the main character may be coming to grips with what happened. The movie is not long which is good because it is slow, but in a good way. A thoughtful movie cannot be running a million miles an hour for the duration. I recommend this movie if you are looking for a different twint on teen angst, coming of age and finding onesself. It is a pleasant surprise.
