The Party Animal

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
