I quite enjoyed the performances of the characters in this tight knit ensemble. The title as implied is that its suppose to be a party where people usually celebrate an event. In this case, the director is having fun with us & showing how things can go off the rails.
Its the interactions between the characters & their history together here that is of interest to the story. While I have read the many complaints of other reviewers, I coouldn't help but think that if this movie were instead made into a play that people would have a different opinion on this.
There have been movies who's origins began on broadway. This is a movie that although quite well done, perhaps would have had a better life if done as live theater & probably would have had a better reception because the script is perfect for theater just not the movie kind.
