The Party Animal

Cult classic film. This is not a "chick flick". It's really goofy and is pretty much a waste of a couple of hours; however, in this day and age where we are spending more and more time in stressful situations (work, school, etc.), this a a perfect film to watch to relieve ourselves of some of that stress. You'll either love it... or hate it. I happen to be one of the viewers who loved/loves it!

While the script and the acting are more than lacking, this movie still has many sophomoric moments that had me recalling my awkward youth and all of the heterosexual males out there will to. Excellent soundtrack with Concrete Blonde and the Buzzcocks as the backdrop. If you go into the experience not expecting a lot, and you keep in mind that the movie probably had a budget around 100k(around 50k probably for Timothy Carhart-the only recognizable face in the film), then you will have a good time. Best if viewed with a pack of guys and a few suds, because one of you will be nailed with the nickname Pondo Sinatra; cause this guy was.

I first saw this movie, as a double-date, at a Drive-In theater(man, do I miss them!). I was only 19-years old, and nervous- because it was my very first double-date. Nevertheless, this movie got all four of us laughing hysterically, and we all had a great time. Honestly, they can't make movies like this anymore- because of the CONTENT(drugs, nudity, etc.) Yes, the Buzzcocks' music is REALLY what made this movie the BOMB.

Dr. Matthew Causey is now a Drama/Theater Professor, in Ireland. He is definitely NOT PROUD of this movie. However, if I ever meet him- I will personally tell him that Pondo Sinatra has been my IDOL for over 25 years! This movie is archived as one of my all-time CLASSIC COMEDY FILMS.

The Party Animal is the funniest movie I have ever seen. I feel this movie is destined to be a cult classic. This movie by far surpasses classics like Animal House and Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke with curbstone humor.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate this movie in any of my searches. If anyone knows where, how and for how much I could purchase this movie, please E-mail me at victorr6000@aol.com. I would really appreciate the assistance.

I forgot to mention that this movie is not family oriented in any way, shape or form. The movie does contain a short scene involving drug use. It also has sexual innuendos and overtones with some nudity.

This movie has more laughs than nearly any I have seen. A collection of scenerios, this movie moves fast and you can hardly catch your breathe between laughs. My favorite scene? Has to be the fart potion. Trust me, if you don't about die from this one your already dead.
