Though it doesn't exactly bowl you over with its ambitions, this teensy but breezy sleeper can at least be mentioned in a breath with two memorable predecessors it recalls ... Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Reviews for Party Girl
Posey's romp through this film is probably the best thing about Party Girl; she just may be the next 'It' girl.

When Party Girl isn't being silly, it tries to be endearing and socially redeeming, and to a good degree succeeds.

It isn't the raucous comedy it's billed as, but the funny bits are worth the price of admission.

Posey is so likably weird.
01/20/04
Hip and contemporary without being archly so.

Top CriticThe part played by Parker Posey may be considered a modern version of Breakfast at Tiffany's Holly Golightly. By day, she works as a library clerk, by night she's queen of the club scenes, a camp diva blessed with cool deadpan and funkiness.

Spunky and sassy drama about a young woman who tries to create herself anew using discipline and devotion.
08/23/02
The movie is poppy, clever and more than enjoyable, but Posey is something else altogether. She's a revelation.

Independent films tend to favor low-key realism in their lead performances, but Party Girl has a real movie star turn at its center.

Parker Posey will either grate on your nerves or charm the daylights out of you -- or both.
01/01/00
The cast is uniformly excellent -- particularly the relentlessly effervescent Posey and the imperious Sasha von Scherler, the director's mother -- and the modern take on old-fashioned romantic comedy is surprisingly effective.

It's great to see where Parker Posey established her indie cred in this too-cool comedy.
07/29/07
Mary is a spiritual descendant of Holly Golightly, and there's an echo, as well, of Edie Sedgwick, the late Andy Warhol superstar who moved the American-princess-on-a-bender mythology into the drug-rock era.

Top CriticUnlike most of the Hollywood Gen X movies, Party Girl actually looks as if it were made from the inside.

Top CriticWhat makes it delicious fun is Posey, a party girl for the ages.
