DVD Reviews of The Party
DVD Review: Party on With Hilarious Comedy, The Party
Summary: 4 Stars
If you want to check out a person's sense of humor, insist they watch the Peter Seller's classic comedy, The Party. If your friend/acquaintance only occasionally chuckles, you may want to re-consider your relationship.
In the film, versatile Peter Sellers plays Hrundi Bakshi, a bumbling actor-aspirant who inadvertently gets invited to a party at the home of a Hollywood mogul. A series of hilarious disasters follow, all set in motion by Bakshi.
This is the kind of film that you'll view repeatedly because the gags never lose their appeal. Perfect for a gathering of friends or family. It is the first film I pull off the shelf for viewing whenever someone says, "I could use a comedy," and they've already seen "Some Like it Hot."
One famous line:
"Birdie num-num."
DVD Review: Laugh your socks off
Summary: 5 Stars
For an innocent, laugh your socks off for the whole family, this is the film for youDVD Review: Thirty years before Rowan Atkinson there was Peter Sellers
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a seriously funny movie. It's very much reminiscent of something you'd see Mr. Bean get himself into - but "The Party" was filmed 30 years earlier! It's over the top - and just when you thought it couldn't get any more whackier, in comes the painted elephant and everything ramps up another notch (you just have to see it to understand ...)
Peter Sellers makes it all work, of course, but the supporting characters are all perfect for thier parts. Reportedly, much of the action was improvised on set - which gives the overall production a very enjoyable feeling of spontaneity.
Although the setting is quintesential late 60's, the humor is timeless. I think "The Party" ranks up there with "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"!
DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was funny back when it was first released and it is still funny. Plenty of Slapstick comedy.
Peter Sellers is a nut case. It is so much fun to see the fashion, hair styles, etc. from that era.
We are going to have a family viewing, with Dad, kids and grandkids.
DVD Review: For all Ages
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this on TV as a child and remember laughing hystericaly.
Well as an adult it is still funny. Not as I remembered but funny none the less.It was amusing to see my wife busta gut laughing at Seller's antics.She loves schtick and physical comedy.I forgot Gavin Mc Cloud was in it.And he was bald then then too!
If you are a fan of Sellers you will enjoy it.Its family friendly so all can enjoy this classic.
Description of The Party
A film extra gets invited to a wild Hollywood A-list party when he was supposed to be fired.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: NR
Release Date: 11-JAN-2005
Media Type: DVD
Though this film is a relatively minor one in the massive canon of Peter Sellers, it has moments of absolute hilarity. Written and directed by Blake Edwards, one of Sellers's most fertile collaborators, the film stars Sellers as a would-be actor from India (let them try to get away with that today) who is a walking disaster area. After ruining a day's shooting as an extra on a film, he finds himself unintentionally invited to a big Hollywood party. That's pretty much it as far as plot goes, but Edwards and Sellers know how to milk a simple idea for an unending string of slapstick gags. The result is a film that is episodic and sketchy, but also frequently loony in an inspired way. --Marshall Fine
