    Library and Raves finally meet in this awesome take on early 90's life. Parker is hilarious and this is a must see.

    This movie misses the mark by a mile. I love Parker Posey, but I could not get past the incredibly trite dialogue or the horribly clichéd efforts at portraying a Gen-X woman struggling to break out of her rut. The movie was actually a labor to get through and not a labor of love....( read more) Just go to a rave and a library if you and skip this movie... It isn't worth your time

    Wacky comedy with plenty of humor. I love Parker Posey and her zany antics in this movie. Music is great also with an cool soundtrack.

    I relate to parts of this quite a bit.

    Parker Posey fan - what can I say!!!
  • January 5, 2009
    Im a Parker Posey fan so its hard for me not to like this fun indie film. Feels more like an 80's movie though with the new york raves scene.

    Quirky cult classic. If you're a fashion buff, you'll want ALL of Posey's outfits--even down to her wEiRD tights. Her bizarre behavior keeps you reeled in. Townsend is simply a delicious man. The sountrack is shake-yo-booty material. The whole thing makes me wanna be a librarian....( read more) "Can I have a falafel with hot sauce, a side order of baba ganouj & a seltzer please?"

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

If bad behaviour and smugness were truly charming, Party Girl might be as much fun as it imagines it is. And Madonna might even have a decent movie career. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

What makes it delicious fun is Posey, a party girl for the ages. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It's a showcase leading role for Parker Posey, who obviously has the stuff, and generates wacky charm. But the movie never pulls itself together. full review
