Film Review of Grand Theft Parsons
Year: 2003 Reviewer: Chris Docker
Fairly lame low-budget comedy. Features a dead country rock singer with various people chasing his corpse - a roadie who wants to cremate him in the desert, a dad who wants to take him back home, and an ex-wife who needs his body to prove he's dead and get her hands on his money a.s.a.p. 'Based on a true story' (lol!). There's a couple of cuddly characters, like the spaced-out, drugged-up hippie who hires his flower-power yellow hearse out thinking it's just to transport an empty coffin. But the movie lacks sufficient bite to make me want to write more than the minimum ten lines. Probably funny enough in a very laid back hippie sort of way - it's almost a hippie road movie - at least the only two other people in the cinema at the same time as me seemed to think so and laughed loudly and constantly. I guess a couple of joints first might have improved my appreciation of the comedy factor.
Rating: 5/10
