Seriously, every college student/random young adult, planning on coming to party in South Beach ( or LA or NYC ) should view this film. It's a serious look at the party " do and don't " list.
Basic party manners and how to avoid the pitfalls of everyone not wanting you to come to the next party are contained.
View it with the same mind that had to sit through the stupid movies in traffic school. It's not meant to be anything but a guide. I don't think the characters were supposed to evolve. They set out with basic characters that the viewer could identify with ( at least one of them for each viewer ). They put them in a party situation and allowed each to stay in that environment with the aide of the guide.
If you're viewing hoping to get an academy award performance from a virtually unknown cast of party peeps in LA - you're out of luck. If you'd like to go and party like a rock-star, take notes. Nothing worse in a party than someone who has no class or party savvy.

I was excited to see how HBO would capture the realm of the Burlesque. There were so many ways to make an award winning documentary - and only one way to really fail. Strangely, Liz chose the one way to make such a promising film a bomb... she made it all about herself.
Liz is actually quite attractive, but all you see in the film is that she's an attention whore. The few moments she gave to her "guests" was the substance of the show, the rest was like being stuck in a room with a little girl playing dress up.
It bothers me that she wants us to view her " coming of age " but pulls back anytime there is something actually sexy. She even states again and again that she doesn't want to show the camera too much. The naughty bits are what the whole thing was about. It's like making a documentary about war, but not showing any fighting.
I hope that HBO gives an opportunity to someone else to do a real documentary about Burlesque. This was a waste of time.
