Funny but Needs a Bigger Party
20 October 2010
I'm not sure I would refer to this as a "party" movie, as is suggested in the advertisement. As someone else noted, they throw a fairly lame party - but they big "party" isn't really that important to the script - and that is somewhat of a flaw. The script could have used one big plot point - and a huge blowout party at the end of the movie to tie everything together and add some anticipation would have helped.

Instead we get the younger kids trying to deem it a "no panties"

party, which is actually funny. And the older guy inviting young girls to the party, which leads to a funny scene where he removes her bra without removing her shirt - and his expression is priceless. Although some funny stuff happens at the party, and there is a good emotional scene with the lead actress, I think it should have been the main plot point, and that would have made this movie more appealing to the mass audience.

It is funny, and many times downright hilarious. I'd recommend it to people who enjoy party movies - or basically anyone under 27. You will be entertained for 90 minutes, and most movies have trouble accomplishing that feat - and being entertained is why you watch a movie.
