Top CriticIt's Green who, despite his straight-man role ... steals the show, with a performance of controlled engagement with both the delights and damage of the kids' lifestyle.

It's camp, trashy and altogether too silly for its own good, only proving that 23-year-old Culkin is far from leaving childish things behind.

Top CriticIt's very self-aware and probably too arch. But the effortless and inventive weaving of zany surfaces with the more sobering truths below makes the film worth seeing.

Top CriticRule No. 1: If you use black humor in a film about real-life characters and events, make sure you have a feel for it first.

Culkin se esforça, mas não convence como o bissexual Michael Alig. Em contrapartida, Seth Green rouba o filme com sua ótima performance.

So awful, it’s almost good.

Never has the Manhattan club scene ever looked so tedious; this film makes a powerful argument for staying home and renting a movie.

Perhaps Party Monster’s limited distribution will keep this clunker from interrupting Seth Green's rise to the top of the Hollywood food chain.

It's the drunk-guy- at-the-party syndrome: The only one truly entertained by the clown with the lamp shade on his head is the clown with the lamp shade on his head -- or folks similarly inebriated.

A mess.

Memo to Macaulay Culkin: When your latest cinematic 'comeback' attempt is a film like Party Monster, maybe remaining in career limbo wasn't such a bad idea.
12/05/03
The look, like Culkin's self-consciously manic performance, is all surface -- which may be the point of profiling these empty lives, but not enough reason to make us watch.
12/05/03
Fact-based story of drugs and death in "clubland" is boring and banal, failing in its attempt to shock and scandalize.
