"Queen of the Indies" Parker Posey (<I>Dazed and Confused</I>, <I>Waiting for Guffman</I>, <I>The Daytrippers</I>) shines in this lightweight comedy about a romance between a floundering downtown party girl and a falafel vendor set in Manhattan's trendy loft and club scene. Posey is utterly charming as Mary, the 23-year-old whose talents are pretty much limited to "partying, flirting, making stuff up." Her penchant for partying gets her evicted from her apartment, whereupon--unable to pay her fine or decide what she wants to do with her life--she receives financial and career help from her godmother, who gets her a job in the New York Public Library system. Does the Dewey decimal system hold the key to Mary's future? Director Daisy von Scherler Mayer went on to direct <I>Madeline</I> (1998). <I>--Jim Emerson</I>
Viewer Reviews
What this Party Girl lacks in depth, it makes up for in effervescence. Daisy von Scherler Mayer's hip, urban comedy, Party Girl (1995), stars Parker Posey in a pre-Waiting for Guffman role as a New York Public Library clerk by day and a self-destructive Manhattan party girl by night. While mastering the Dewey Decimal System, 23-year-old Mary (Posey) buys a Lebanese phrase book just to spark up a romance with a Lebanese falafel street vendor, Mustafa (Omar Townsend). He is too good for her. Proving that girls just wanna have fun, she throws raves and parties with her gay friend, Derrick (Anthony DeSando), and her DJ roommate, Leo (Guillermo Díaz). While this movie lacks depth, Posey carries the film with her wacky, Holly-Golightly-performance as Mary, a charming young woman with a penchant for "partying, flirting, [and] making stuff up."
