Party Girl (1995)

I'm a big Parker Posey fan, but...
Even she can't save this turkey.

This type of film seems to have been common in the 1990s -- a lot of rootless young people go to the Big City (always New York) and compete to be admitted to "exclusive" night clubs ("Are you cool enough to spend your money here?"). This film was dated even before it was released. Spare yourself the agony.

Slept-on movie
Lots of fun with alot of replay value. You can find it on Azon for like 5 bucks, so there's really no reason not to see this. PP's style of dress in the movie is great

He-he-hello!
This movie is wonderful. I think it was underrated, and they should put it out on dvd. Anyway I think this is one of Parker Posey's best works, great performance. She plays a sassy but a little bit clueless (initially) club kid/party girl type who hangs out with the arty, party New York scene. This movie really captures the art scene in the city in the 1990's. Back when rent was high but probably still affordable and jobs were kinda hard to come by for those in the arts if they preferred more to party than practice the arts. The whole cast has chemistry, Parker acts so natural with her fashionable best friend and her dj roomate. Her chracter falls for a Lebanese teacher-turned-falafel vendor, and the ensuing romance is so comic and endearing. And I, like almost everyone else, agree that the scene with Natasha is priceless and should be rewound again and again for its comic genius. Parker's character does find her way in the end, when she wakes up and realises she needs to go beyond just partying. I loved the dance/house soundtrack flowing throughout and all the bit characters which showed up in the movie throughout. Even down to the rainbow-colored stairs leading up to Parker's apartment, and the mystery of "Carl". This movie is a quiet gem.
