Though this film is a relatively minor one in the massive canon of Peter Sellers, it has moments of absolute hilarity. Written and directed by Blake Edwards, one of Sellers's most fertile collaborators, the film stars Sellers as a would-be actor from India (let them try to get away with that today) who is a walking disaster area. After ruining a day's shooting as an extra on a film, he finds himself unintentionally invited to a big Hollywood party. That's pretty much it as far as plot goes, but Edwards and Sellers know how to milk a simple idea for an unending string of slapstick gags. The result is a film that is episodic and sketchy, but also frequently loony in an inspired way. --Marshall Fine

 Very Funny June 19, 2008
Hilariously funny! The funniest scenes are those that don't even have any dialog. I highly recommend this very funny movie. I had never seen this movie. It is hilarious!
 Rolling with laughter June 6, 2008
You know a movie's funny when you're watching it by yourself, and you're cracking up! Although the movie is dated and sometimes slow, it brought back childhood memories of watching other Peter Sellers movies with my family. I encouraged my oldest son to see it as he is a fan of a similar comedian Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean). Now my son for no reason will occasionally simply utter, "birdie num nums," and we both start laughing.
HILARIOUS June 1, 2008
THIS MOVIE IS HILARIOUS. MY SON LOVED IT. IT IS FUNNNY JUST WATCHING A 45 YEAR OLD FALL APART LAUGHING. MY HUSBAND SAW IT ON TCM AND HE RAVED ABOUT IT. HE NEVER COMMENTS ON ANY ITEM AND THIS MOVIE WAS TALKED ABOUT FOR WEEKS. THREE OF US OUT OF FIVE WENT TO AMAZON AND PURCHASED THIS ONE, A SET AND "BEING THERE". WE LOVED THIS MOVIE.

The Party
Bought this hoping to laugh. It was occasionally slapstick funny, but so boring in between we finally gave up and turned it off. Do not recommend.
