Audience Reviews for Garden Party

Nov 23, 2011

Garden Party has the feel of a made-for-TV look at life in Los Angeles. The actors and actresses that we've grown accustomed to seeing in the passenger seat are given semi-leading roles. Vinessa Shaw is sexy and sultry, allowing for the possibly the only stand out performance of the film, though Willa Holland of The O.C. fame stands her ground comfortably.

Two stars is still being gracious. Weed, porn, underage drinking, porn, weed, kinky pictures and weed.

I don't know what the hell this was. No story. The director pretty much just felt like bad mouthing Los Angeles. I do like the actors though. Willa Holland is appearing more on screen now.
