Movie Reviews of The Party
Movie Review: If you love Mr. Bean...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a big Peter Sellers fan for most of my life, but didn't know anything about this movie until watching Ebert & Roeper, who named it a comedy classic. My husband asked me to order it, and we were NOT disappointed. The whole family enjoyed it tremendously, and while my husband and I had to do a little explaining about the 60's culture where everyone drinks and smokes, my kids enjoyed the slapstick qualities that they appreciate so much in the Mr. Bean videos they've grown up with. If you have fond memories of those hip 60's movies and/or are a fan of Peter Sellers' comedic genius, I whole-heartedly recommend this movie. We give it 4 thumbs up!Movie Review: British Humor
Summary: 5 Stars
Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers make a great combination, of course I'm a big fan of the Pink Panther series. This movie had some hysterical moments where only Sellers could pull it off. It's dry british humor set against a 60's backdrop in L.A. with Sellers playing the bumbling guest who tries to mingle in a group of relative strangers with his awkwardness and lovable innocence. Did I mention that he's an actor from India trying to make it in Hollywood. His appearance and accent blurs the line of character and actor. You'll recognize a few famous faces among the guests at the "party". My favorite lines are "birdy num num" and "howdy par-de-ner".Movie Review: Peter Sellers was a nature gift !
Summary: 5 Stars
What laughable moments , what sense of the expression , what black humor told with such resource economy. The gestual and body language are part of this unvaluable legacy of this unbeatable actor .
Watch for instance his face in dramatic highlights like the sequence in which she sits down and the switch is on ; his face in the dinner sequence , or when he loses his shoe in the artificial stream when he just arrives at the party .
This movie still remains as a funny and sincer spectacle for the savoir vivre .
If you have not seen it yet , please do not waste any minute and try to find it as soon as you can .
Movie Review: A Classic and Classy Comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
Peter Sellers will forever be with us through two incredibly well done characters; Clouseau, The famous French Detective in The Pink Panther and Bakshi, the Mistaken invitee at The Party. Sellers portraying the roll of an Indian actor who misses everything but has a big heart reminds us of the wobbly French detective roll he did as Clouseau in The Pink Panther. Peter Sellers was so talented that not in one second, in my opinion, reminded us of Clouseau. He was 100% the Indian actor. The comparison comes only from the type of characters and here and only here comes the comparison with Clouseau.Movie Review: The Party
Summary: 5 Stars
Sellers inhabits another accident-prone character in his continuing partnership with Blake Edwards. Bakshi is a gentle person, but his innocent curiosity about his surroundings (or is it bewilderment?) manages to wreak havoc most everywhere he goes. Though detractors claim the comic momentum flags by picture's end, Sellers's brilliant characterization and some sublime set-pieces make this worthy viewing. In particular, the dinner sequence is one of the funniest sequences on film. French actress Claudine Longet is adorable as the party's prettiest guest, who befriends Bakshi. A sixties bash!
