guilty pleasures
I'm a big Sandra Bullock fan and I caught this movie on tv a while ago. I think several years had passed before I realized I could purchase the video from amazon and I was so happy to have found it again. Sometimes I find it very hard to explain why I like certain things like music and movies. This one boils down to a few things. One, the characters are 3D. Once in a while a character will be written too much in the extreme...like he or she will be too nice (hey we're all human). These guys aren't. They have their smooth rounded sides but also jagged edges to scrap themselves on. There is strength in their weaknesses. Two, the plot. There is one. That is always a plus. Plus, basically anything with SB is gonna be one of my favorite movies.

fair film about early 90s angst
A semi-indy style film mostly told in flashbacks. Sandra, before her days of stardom, plays a tomboy who openly displays affection to her gay housemate. Ray Dawn Chong acts better in some scenes than she does in others while Fisher Stevens plays a art house wicca who just wants everyone to get along. I liked Elizabeth Berridge in the film. She plays a very timid mild mannered LA girl who enjoys the company of her friends, sex, and parties. Her explosion into a fit of cussing at the end of the film was very convincing. Sandra just isnt meant to be a bad girl and the story does jolt to a stop in more than one scene. Still it had some humor and if you live and know people in LA, like I do, you'll find this film depicits life in LA fairly well.

full of drama
The cover here may look happy, but this is far from a happy movie. Don't fear, there is a somewhat happy ending, but it basically plays out like your average soap opera- back stabbing, betrayal, and all that jazz. It's one of those movies you watch more than once because all in all, it's a satisfying story. Best of all, it co-stars Sandra Bullock!

When the party is over, you talk about yours mistakes...
Good movie, I was happy to see Sandra Bullock with an attitude. The true story about your friend a the corner of the street, the up & down of comming out of college and in the Adult-life.

The only thing that bored me is the "Documentarie" look or all the "Flash-back" episodes. It is the story of a bunch of kids who speak up about there relashionship and how the have been throught that. They're all bad-mouthing every one and finaly realise that life is a B**ch... :) and when they talk about an event, well, you see it in "Flash-Back".

Rae Dawn Chong is great in the "Handy-Abused-Friend-who's-having sex-with-everybody" !

Cute...and truthful about the ups and downs of friendship
When the Party's Over is a movie that one in bad situations can releate to. Bullock gives one of her best performences in her early career. When the Party's Over is about roomates that thought there world was perfect. Until there party life settles down and they relize how truly screwed up they have made there lives. Funny, cute, romantic, a definite chick flick. If you liked Hope Floats or As Good as it Gets this one's for you! ... Read more

Interesting Pairing
Channing and Tilly...an appealing duet. Who would have thought. I just liked the movie.

A MUST SEE FOR EVERY WOMAN!
THIS MOVIE IS A MUST FOR EVERY WOMAN (OR MAN) THAT HAS EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A DIVORCE FOLLOWED WITH A NEW RELATIONSHIP. THE DIALOG IS FULL OF THE LITTLE "TRUISMS" THAT WILL TOUCH ANYONE WHO VIEWS THIS FILM. "FUNNY"? ABSOLUTELY!! THIS IS A COMEDY IN THE TRUEST SENSE. JENNIFER TILLY AND STOCKARD CHANNING ARE HILARIOUS. I RECOMMEND SEEING THIS FILM NO LESS THAN TWO OR THREE TIMES, AS EACH TIME YOU WILL PICK UP ON A NEW PIECE OF THE PUZZEL THAT TIES THESE CHARACTERS. HOW MANY LITTLE "NUGGETS" CAN YOU FIND!! P.S. BETTER TO WATCH ALONE OR WITH A GIRLFRIEND. GUYS CAN HAVE A TOUGH TIME WITH THIS MOVIE! ... Read more
