Price Check

Directed by Michael Walker. Starring Parker Posey, Eric Mabius, Annie Parisse, Josh Pais, and Cheyenne Jackson.

Parker Posey grabs the role of marginally psychotic supermarket schemer Susan Felders and squeezes it like an overripe organic cantaloupe in "Price Check," helmer Michael Walker's charming and slightly unhinged low-budget comedy. After a strong start, the pic itself has trouble checking out, but it provides a terrific showcase for indie princess Posey, leading a topnotch cast. Its graceful swing from giddy to sobering could appeal to a wide-ranging audience.
