Bakshi, a film extra who accidentally demolishes the set, then finds himself mistakenly invited to a big Hollywood dinner party. His bumbling begins the moment ...read the complete Party movie review at filmcritic.com
Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films (Clayton Trapp)
Well, who hasn't been to a million parties like this? Some lady gets a whole baked chicken stuck in her headpiece, the toilet overflows on the second floor after someone puts ten pounds of toilet paper in it, some guy loses his shoe in the pool, the ...read the complete Party movie review at Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films (Clayton Trapp)
The Melancholy Eskimo Review -- Reviews & Essays
The funniest scene in âThe Partyâ (1968) comes right at the beginning. Peter Sellers is an army scout, a loyal Indian from the same mold as Gunga Din. He is about to warn the British troops of an ambush by Indian mutineers. He is wounded but manages ...read the complete Party movie review at The Melancholy Eskimo Review -- Reviews & Essays
The Onion A.V. Club (Tasha Robinson)
The Pink Panther films were career highlights both for writer-director Blake Edwards and for comedian Peter Sellers; the initial installments, 1963's The Pink Panther and 1964's A Shot In The Dark, sealed Edwards' then-budding reputation as a master of ...read the complete Party movie review at The Onion A.V.

This is a seriously funny movie. It's very much reminiscent of something you'd see Mr. Bean get himself into - but "The Party" was filmed 30 years earlier! It's over the top - and just when you thought it couldn't get any more whackier, in comes the ...

This movie was funny back when it was first released and it is still funny. Plenty of Slapstick comedy.
Peter Sellers is a nut case. It is so much fun to see the fashion, hair styles, etc. from that era.
We are going to have a family viewing, with Dad, ...

I have seen this movie a million times and somehow it adds to the fun. This is my favorite movie of all times. The subtle jokes make me smirk in advance. The 60"s decor is superb and never tires! Peter Sellers at his best. Be ready to laugh till your ...

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 ...
by Ira White on January 10, 2009
This is a best kept secret: The Party is the funniest movie Peter Sellers ever made.
That's a hefty claim, especially considering that most people have never even heard of this movie. But I remember seeing The Party when it came out in the theatres. I ...
by Fabio R. Marcos "... on December 22, 2008
This movie is a classic comedy of the 60's. It is very subtle. It is a funny fine portrait of the 60's Hollywood life style with a hint of 60's movie's industry by characterization. But pay attention to details: his Indian accent, the red socks and white ...
by Francisco J. Lope... on October 30, 2008
Get the popcorn, sit on your favorite sofa and get ready to laugh from begining to end. Peter Seller's best movie. If you like the Pink Panther series, you ain't seen nothing yet. Peter Selles is a comedic genious and will be greatly missed in ...
