Movie Connections:

Spin off from Party Girl (1995)

Good, But Not Of The Same Magnitude As The Movie.

I really did like this show, but it didn't quite encapture the heart of the film. Don't get me wrong, Christine Taylor is a fine actress, but she's no Parker Posey. They have two totally different styles. The only way a TV version of this could have worked would have been to get Parker to reprise the role of Mary.
