In an attempt to beautify her town — and advance her career — Leslie Knope, a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, takes on bureaucrats, cranky neighbors, and single-issue fanatics whose weapons are lawsuits, the jumble of city codes, and the democratic process she loves so much.

Parks and Recreation Audience Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
nateiosefa-37210 Honestly, without a doubt, Parks and Rec is so fantastic I believe it needed more praise than it got. The characters are so funny and the overall tone of the show is just fun and great. It can always can sustain multiple laughs through multiple viewing times. Best television show to binge and is completely different to it's sister TV show: The Office. Although the Office came first, it tackled more of a relatable tone of the American Working life and its perks with it but Parks and Rec brought light hearted characters with fantastic character arcs and legendary comedic writing. Brilliant. Definitely recommended
gb901 Apparently made by the people who made us version of the office - which again I hadnt watched: why watch the copy after seeing the original? I found PaR unfunny, with very obvious jokes which were incredibly predictable and the idiot character played by chris pratt was painful to behold! Terrible, just terrible Terry
ggspot81 Love the show but the two people on the show they can do without is April and Tom. One character remind me from the movie Napoleon dynamite and the other person to me is trying to hard to be funny.
JaikrishnaVS I was probably very late to the party when I had started watching Parks and Recreation . A failed attempt at 'The Office' and 'Arrested Development' meant that I had almost lost faith on there being another binge-worthy sitcom among the modern day contenders. It was without much of an expectation that I started watching Parks and Rec and the low expectations probably went a long way in me ending up liking the series.Parks and Rec is centered around the very ambitious Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) who is a Deputy Director at The Parks and Recreation in a small town, Pawnee, Indiana and her colleagues. The series stars at a very slow pace with the introduction to characters taking its own sweet time. Leslie, is a hard-working, passionate, self-driven lady who wants to help everyone around her. Nick Offerman plays the government hating, privacy loving, steak loving, 'hard-working' head of the Parks and Rec department , Ron Swanson who also happens to be the boss off Leslie. He carries his contempt for human company and modernism throughout the series and that makes him a special character. Aubrey Plaza plays April Ludgate who is a socially awkward, brilliant, yet lazy intern and Chris Pratt (the reason I started watching the series in the first place) plays Andy Dwyer the lovable, dumb, fun loving wannabe rockstar of the 'Mouserat' band - some of the scenes involving him made me literally fall on the floor laughing. Aziz Ansari plays the tech-savvy, 'stylish' and hip Tom Haverford who feels and knows he is meant for big things but would never work for it. The epitome of coolness Donna Meagle played by Retta and Jerry Gergich (Jim O'Heir) the simpleton and the guy on whom the rest of his office picks on all the time for very little fault of his forms the rest of the Parks and Rec department. The wonderful and beautiful Rashida Jones who plays Ann Perkins the best friend of Leslie and probably the lynchpin surrounding whom the whole series waltz around forms a wonderful partnership with Amy her troops. Adam Scott and Rob Lowe comes in at a later stage to add more fun to the whole series.There is this massive list of guest super-stars including Paul Rudd, JK Simmons, Sam Elliot, Senator John McCain, Heidi Klum, John Ham, Michelle Obama, Ginuwine, Andy Samberg, Chris Bosh, Kristen Bell and my favorite Joe Biden, if the previous para did not intrigue you enough. It's on the cuteness and fun scale that the show scores over many of its challengers. When 'The Office' borderlines awkward, Parks and Rec scores due to its genuineness. Its all about how Leslie is hell bent on bringing happiness for the people in her life, even if it means that at times she takes the decisions for them or she quashes their decisions for them. Every character is a sea apart for one another in the way they view life and go about with their life but then they all gel so well together as one cohesive unit that makes the Parks and Rec a jamboree of happiness and fun. There are some filler episodes in between that can be expected even in the best of the sit-coms (except Friends of course!) but I thoroughly enjoyed binge watching the fun team of Parks and Recreation and would definitely recommend it to everyone (especially since its now available in Netflix) who wants to just sit back and relax after a tough day at work.
