        This is what happens when you let just anyone direct films...films like these.

        Don't let the fact that the title contains the word "party" fool you.

        There's something quite unusual about this movie. It's like the Big Chill for the new millenium.

        I really liked it the first time I saw it. Not so much the second time.
