A variety of broad comic types – the cheating husband, the geeky loser, the embittered wife – drive into a Los Angeles “Park.” Wackiness ensues.

Billy Baldwin, Cheri Oteri and Ricki Lake are on hand for this hodgepodge of broad comic gags and dirty jokes. The Baldwin character is trying to hump a Polish girl in a naughty-maid outfit while his wife (Ricki Lake) watches through binoculars and plots her revenge. Meanwhile, another woman tries, unsuccessfully, to commit suicide – but strikes up an unlikely friendship with a pet groomer. Also, two guys who like to eat lunch in the nude bring two girls along to watch.

None of the characters seems particularly believable, except Lake’s; she brings some feeling to a thin role. And the campy, “outrageous” comedy is pretty thin, too.

PARK

Running time: 86 minutes. Not rated (raunchy humor, profanity, sex). At the Quad, 13th Street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues.
