Movie Reviews of The Anniversary Party
Movie Review: Wish I could watch it...
Summary: 3 Stars
I would suppose this is not the seller's fault, but this DVD is not formatted to play in a standard DVD player...so imagine my chagrin to find that I've spent money on this purchase...yet, it won't play in my DVD player. I am not impressed with this purchase...what a disappointment. And I'd heard that this was a good movie... hope to see it on cable someday...since this DVD won't work at all. I do not recall seeing, or reading anything about this DVD's 'incompatibility issues' with standard DVD players while browsing the product before purchase. Beware shoppers.Movie Review: A Simple, Real, Honest Film About Life In LA

If you want to know the ins and outs of the film and characters, read other reviews. I have watched this film on Independent Film Channel many times and only recently purchased it for my library. Alan Cumming is just incredible. You realize that actors are play-acting but after a while they become quite real. For those of you who complained about the drugs etc. this party is Miss Sara's Daycare compared to what really goes on out there. This 'party' is quite sedate. The story line is very interesting and quite real. The performances are all excellent. It is the kind of film to watch on a weekend night with a light dinner on the TV tray. And a nice glass or two of good wine. I really like this film very much. See it just for Mr. Cumming. He is worth the price of admission. Movie Review: I enjoyed this movie......
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot believe all of the negative reviewers. Obviously you have never had an adult party where people behave like teenagers after being delt alcohol mixed with a drug nobody has ever tried before at their age. At least not here. But I had a similar party, and it ended similarly. Fights happen, but not as serious. You have to take things that happen at party's with open mindedness or not have them. Your husband or wife or girlfriend...etc., is not going to behave as usual and you see a bad side of them. If a relationship can't handle one party like this one, it probably can't survive a marriage. The story kept me interested almost the whole way through except for the female gossip got alittle boring, otherwise very watchable, funny and tragic. I would like to see it again.Movie Review: A Peek into Hollywood Lives
Summary: 3 Stars
The party assembles a mixed group of mixed-up people to celebrate an anniversary of a troubled marriage.
Their self-congratulatory behavior deteriorates as drink and drugs blur their thinking and undermine their judgement. It put my husband to sleep, but I kept watching to the end. I am still trying to think of some purpose for this film.
Some of the other reviews tout it as an actor's training tool. I'd hate for future actors to think this was the way they should conduct their lives. Rather a sad movie in which sad, but glittery people's lives spin out of control.
If this movie is a fair representation of how Hollywood types (writers, actors, directors) interact and think, then it is no wonder some of the movies today are such a mess.
Movie Review: Do yourself a favor, skip this dud
Summary: 1 Stars
This is one party I'm glad I wasn't invited to. Celebrity couple Joe (novelist and now director) and Sally Therrian (actress) throw a party to celebrate their 6th anniversary. It's been a rocky marriage with jealousy and petty squabbling. They throw a party with "close" friends, neighbors they are feuding with and a up and coming actress that Sally feels her career threated with. It gets messy as the night goes along and lots is said and done because they are tripping on Ecstasy.
Another the-world-spins-around-me movie. I don't know which would be worse, to have be surrounded by people like them or to be them.
