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.

This exudes trendiness at regular intervals, and otherwise manages to be reasonably charming about Manhattan's melting pot culture, but my general response was still 'Wake me when it's over.'

Top CriticIt's a showcase leading role for Parker Posey, who obviously has the stuff, and generates wacky charm. But the movie never pulls itself together.

It's great to see where Parker Posey established her indie cred in this too-cool comedy.

Party Girl wouldn't be as beloved without Parker Posey, the jewel in this indie crown.
01/21/08
To be perfectly honest, Party Girl follows a fairly predictable narrative; the quality lies almost exclusively in the details.
09/13/03
Avoid it.

The 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.

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.

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

If bad behaviour and smugness were truly charming, Party Girl might be as much fun as it imagines it is. And Madonna might even have a decent movie career.

Top CriticUnlike most of the Hollywood Gen X movies, Party Girl actually looks as if it were made from the inside.
02/13/01
Top CriticThe screenplay, by Ms. Mayer and Harry Birckmayer, has its occasionally funny lines, but not nearly enough to certify the film as a hip urban comedy in tune with the cutting edge of downtown New York.

Posey is so likably weird.
