Review of Party Girl

Party Girl (1995)
5/10
A pocket full of Posey
13 August 2003
"Party Girl" is all about Posey, tossed like a salad with a load of inconsequential side characters, as she labors to breathe life into her character; a shallow party animal who tries to get unshallow. This flick bears the scars of cost cutting, doesn't managed to conjure any reasonable semblance of a story, and wanders drunkenly with a make-it-up-as-you-go feel as it manages a few comic moments, a skosh of poignancy, and little else. The bottom line here is: If you like Posey, you may like this film. If you don't like Posey, you probably should pass on "Party Girl". (C+)

Note - If you check the stats for this film you'll see a pretty obvious bell curve (Normal Gaussian distribution) with one obvious anomaly: The big spike at the 10 point mark. Since no one in their right mind could equate this dinky little indie to the best films ever made, one can assume the anomaly is either ballot box stuffing or the result of "cultists" or both. I only mention this because this is often seen on this website and can be misleading.
