There are many worse ways you could spend 99 minutes. It's a fine movie and by that I mean good....ish, Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green are really excellent and it shows that Seth Green has huge variety in his acting capabilities. The movie however really focuses on Culkin's and Green's characters rather that the disposed or disposal of the drug dealer. (And to emphasise that point, I can't even remember his name!) But that's probably because those character are more entertaining - which is fine but I felt as a result the murder of a young man was trivialised or made light of in some way.
Far from a cautionary tale because of the way it glorifies the drug world, (even though it does show the `downs' - just not as much as the `ups') this movie is for entertaining and it somewhat achieves that goal.
Not a must for ones collection but worth a look. Get a friend to buy it!

I'm no expert on Micheal Alig, James St. James, DJ Keoki, etc. so I can't really comment on how accurate of a portrayal this is of their lives.
But I will say this...
Having written electronic music since the age of 12, and working as a club and event promoter in Denver for the past year, I can say with certainty that there are thousands, even MILLIONS of people that frequent the "underground" worldwide whom live extremely comparable lives to the ones depicted in this movie. There are people just as eccentric and flamboyant, if not way more so. There is definitely just as much substance abuse. And if the only things that turn you off from this movie are seeing an ex-child star experiment with a controversial role, or flashing lights accompanied by pounding techno and extreme wardrobes, I hate to break it to you, but it's happening right under your nose, everywhere you go.
The party scene and the club scene are something you have to just click with. I've loved electronic music since before I even knew there was anything "illicit" associated with it, and that shouldn't say I have bad taste... it should say that people will take anything and turn it into a self-destructive moral debauchery. Though the music, the substances, the clothes and the performances between rap, dance and rock are different, the people, their willingness to habituate, and their conformity have remained the same.
This movie shouldn't have to hit close to home to be respected, or at least acknowledged as an accurate portrayal of youthful spontaneity, promiscuity and overall experimentation... and the sheer consequences that often result.
Just a thought.

Party Monster is one of my all time favorite movies...It's about the life and times of a group of party "club-kids" in the late 1980's. It's fun, fabulous, and yes, cheesey and campy! The story has some great twists and turns in it! Watching it you may think it's somewhat of an over exagerated story, but the clincher is, it's based on a true story! How Fabulous is that?
All the actors did a wonderful job in taking you back to those club daze (days).. but, Macaulay Culkin, Seth Green and Marilyn Manson, those three kept me glued to the screen.. some really great acting there!

Purchase from Amazon was good, came in wrapped and nice. Movie was quite boring.. Its more of a documentation of a drug drag, then a out of the boxx movie.
