party time, excellent!

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2007)

this was the first movie i ever owned, so its obviously very near and dear to my heart. i went through a period of watching it at least once a month, usually more often. what amazes me about it is that no matter how many times i watch it the humor always seems fresh and consistent. it easily beats out any other SNL originated movie I've ever seen, in fact, it may even be the frontrunner in the "trapped on a desert island with one movie" scenario. the plot is serviceable, but the movie works best in its priceless little moments, much like the best sketch comedy. tia carrere is magically babelicious, and delivers a bit of nice comedy too. meanwhile, dana carvey and mike meyers are in their prime, and the supporting cast is rounded out quite nicely. rob lowe plays the role that his perfect bone structure was born to play, expertly sleazy. in short, i consider it a classic of modern film comedy, and even if you are not as devoted to it as i am (which, chances are, you aren't) you'll definitely find something to laugh at here.
