Party Girl (1995)
7/10
Oddly Fun Romcom about Librarians
18 March 2024
A party girl is run with some problems with her rent. When another party turns out to be a bust, she forced to call her 'boring' aunt to call in a favor. With her no salary in sight, she goes and try ask for her aunt for a loan which she refuses but offers her as a temp hire in her library. It somewhat works out, but her aunt's refusal to believe her changing ways and a foreign lover that seems to be confused by her values stops her in actually achieving her goal.

To be perfectly honest, this feels a bit a run in the mill romcom yet it never really go to what you'd expect it to be. It just swerves right enough to not really fall to a boring and typical route of films of this kind. It could be a bit oddly hard on our titular Party Girl at times, but I felt that how her relationships ended were ultimately nicely handled.

Parker Posey is good in this role. I think this is a role where her charisma is keeping the film together. NO other actor particularly feels great in this. It was somewhat not a performance piece AND I do feel that no one is also doing character elevations too.

Overall, I felt that the charming story with a great titular performance. Recommended.
