Un tombeur de folie

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!

The plot is a loose excuse for a series of gags that only occasionally work, BUT this movie is so balls out crazy and trashy that you can't help but love the brashness at how far they go. Is it good? Debatable, but it's never boring because it's always going that one step further past good taste.

With a running time of just 77 minutes, a storyline that randomly jumps around and seems to miss key sequences, and "interview" sequences that look like they were made and jammed in at the last minute, I would bet money that this movie had a LOT of problems during its production. Neverless, this is definitely above average for an early '80s youth sex comedy. There are some genuinely funny sequences, and the performances are great - especially the actor who plays Pondo Sinatra. His bug-eyed, insane, sex-obsessed character is hilarious. Strangely, this seems to have been the only movie he's ever been in. What happened to him?

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.
