Watch Party Girl For Free

Really Surprised!

Best movie ever!

Absolutely Brilliant!

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I just watched the new Lost in Space series on Netflix and was reminded how great Parker Posey can be. I decided to look for Party Girl and found it lurking on YouTube. Hadn't seen it in many years, but it holds up. I have to say, when I first saw it many, many years ago, I thought there were parts of it that were weak. But none of that bothered me this time, because compared to a lot of stuff made today, this film is jam-packed with action, it's got interesting visuals, and original characters. There aren't many actors who can toss off a line like "I'd like a powerful mind-altering substance please. Preferably one that will give my unborn children gills." But Posey does this was ease. In fact her performance looks effortless and I'm very sure it wasn't. A bonus is the soundtrack. I bought it and blasted it in the car for years. I can understand how some people wouldn't like this movie. Particularly if they've never lived in a big city or been into the club scene. It might all seem alien and artificial. Trust me, it's not. It's pretty true to life. Give this movie a chance. Especially if you're young and feeling like an outsider. Or if you're gay. The last line in the movie sums it all up. 'Life is a garden, and we are all flowers."

Mary (Parker Posey) is a 23 year old party girl in NYC. She gets arrested for charging entry fees to her illegal party. She needs to ask her librarian godmother Judy Lindendorf for bail. When she's dismissed as being irresponsible like her mother, she takes a library clerk job. Her best friend Leo is trying to be a DJ. She falls for the falafel street vendor Mustafa. She doesn't even know the Dewey Decimal System but if they taught a monkey to do it, how hard could it be.Parker Posey is great. After her scene-stealing turn in Dazed and Confused, this was probably the next thing I saw her in. I love her. Interestingly, this also has an early Liev Schreiber performance. This indie has some fun unique lines but it's not that well shot. This needs a better director to bring out the quirky fun out of the screen.

I remember seeing this years ago when it first came out and I was floored by Parker Posey's performance. And the movie was pretty good also. For anyone who's spent a little too much time in the nightclub/after-hours scene, this movie will have a special charm for you. Not too serious, mostly funny, and Parker Posey definitely blazes her talented way through this indie gem.I especially liked the Diaz character (reminded me of every single struggling DJ I've ever known). And many other movies could take a cue from this movie on how to preach the virtue of responsibility without being boring and bland about it.Babaganoosh!

Parker Posey gives new meaning the Dewey Decimal System. Embracing library life she shows that those who work in libraries are not all eye-glass wearing, bun in the hair, sensible shoe types. AND the sound track can't be beat. This one gets me dancing every single time! The story is sweet and fun. Posey is on target as a typical wild child avoiding work at all costs. Librarians around the world should have this movie in their personal collections for viewing anytime. A great pick me up! The stereotypes for librarians are out there - it is nice when mass media blows up those stereotypes (another place the stereotype was recently blasted was on the on the pages of BUST magazine in April 2004).
