no. far from it. it is a comedy. some of it is obvious, other parts are more subtle. in addition the film is a dig at the superficiality of the entertainment industry. Hrundi asks pretty crazy at times but he and the girl are the only sane and decent people there.

this movie was F-ing hilarious. I didn't have high hopes going on for some reason, maybe I thought it wouldn't stand the test of time (I just watched it a few months ago), but it is one of the funniest movies I have seen. Shame on me for doubting the master, Peter Sellers

Still at this after three years! And apparently with naught a sign of personal growth. It's one thing to simply be unfond of a film, but to resort to the idiotic overused hyperbole of your subject title, to be so entirely closed-minded toward the valid suggestions of others (such as sticking with more than 20 darned minutes of a film) in light of your piss poor criticisms, AND to doubt the comedic acting chops of Peter Sellers??
Right, step away from those paint fumes you so seem to love, junior. Possibly get on ritalin while you're at it. -

I'm a Sellers fan and I love the Pink Panther movies along with Dr. Strangelove and Being There, but I must agree with you, The Party was one hell of a boring movie. I was very disappointed because I had heard good things about the film. With Blake Edwards as the director and Sellers in the leading role, I was expecting a lot from this movie but soon realized my expectations were not going to be fulfilled.
The most boring movie I have seen in years, but not the most boring movie ever. I'm actually quite annoyed I didn't enjoy this movie, but that's happens sometimes. 2/10

I recall this film as being witless and boring in 1968 - in fact, we got up and left. I taped it a few days ago so I could attempt to re-watch it and see if it's as bad as I remembered - the only thing I recall from 1968 is Sellers' search for the bathroom (I think we left when he found it) - haven't gotten to that yet, but yes indeed, the film is still witless and boring, other than the opening sequence which spoofs Sam Jaffe and GUNGA DIN.

the ironic bit is the hjr fellow agrees with someone who actually appreciated the beginning of the movie, and yet his whole argument is built upon "how bad the first twenty minutes."
Some people dislike the movie, others like it(including myself). We don't have to agree or insult each other for not agreeing.
The begging works really well as a satire if you actually know about Gunga Din. -

In that case thankyou for taking the time to give that attention, which clearly makes you the sucker
No, hjr, I believe you are the sucker for keeping a thread
about a movie you don't like alive
for three years!

That doesnt make me the sucker, it means my correct point of view has been promulgated to an even greater audience.
Except that a sucker like you probably doent know what promulgated means.

So why, if you have such an issue with my posts, do you then come on here and vent your spleen against them over a month since I last contributed.
Surely you saw the opportunity to have a little rant, and a little moan and jumped in with both feet. What does this say about you?
Best to consider the plank in your own eye first surely my dear fellow! -

I dont recall saying you couldnt have a view or express it?
However I notice you didn't respond to my suggestion that you took the opportunity to have a nice moan session. Presuming that was on the mark and hence you maintained a dignified, but very revealing, silence about it.
Try doing more cardiovascular exercise to relieve your tension, or maybe look into a meridian tecnhique like EFT (www.emofree.com)
Anyway, what did you think about the film? -

Personally, I find 'The Party' very funny. Now, a while back, I watched part of a Chis Rock show, and while I smiled at a few bits, the constant "muther#%&@er this" and "muther#%&@er that" grew stale pretty fast. To me. The audience was lapping it up though, and I'd bet they paid good money for those seats.
A wise man once said that mathematics is the only universal truth; everything else is just opinion. No matter where you go, what language you use or what god you pray to [if any], 2 + 2 = 4. Art [and movies] however is completely subjective.
So let's give the name calling and sniping a rest, huh? This place will end up looking like the comments section of 'YouTube' otherwise. Different people have different opinions, so as the French say, " vive la difference!"
That being said, it should be apparent to all that the original poster is obviously a worse person than Hitler.
Oh, and if the O.P. thinks that this may be "The worst film ever", it would suggest to me that he/she hasn't seen too many movies. Just my opinion, of course.
