"Party Monster" begs an essential question: Why make it a movie?
Why is this story worthy of the time and energy that it takes to make a movie? The question comes from a paradigm that expects movies to leave their viewers somehow enlightened. This film just leaves you wondering, why?
Not that the performances aren't wonderful, the costumes fabulous, the basic movie protocols tight and well executed. It's a good piece of film making, with four phenomenal young actors: Macaulay Culkin, Seth Green, Wilmar Valderrama, and Wilson Cruz. They are all to be commended for hitching their talents to this wagon...even if the wagon seems capricious and enigmatic.
