When the Party's Over Reviews

---

Forgettable!
Other than seeing a young Sandra Bullock looking cute in a film that was made before she was a star, there is not a lot of positive things I can say. Several young people share an apartment, joined together by Rae Dawn Chong's character, MJ (that in itself should be a tipoff because I cannot remember a Chong movie post-Commando). Tensions mount at the big party and MJ's self-destructive personality causes the friends to break up when the party ends including a couple that just got engaged during the party.

There are some uncomfortable scenes such as when Bullock's 16 year old brother jumps into bed with MJ and says that she will be the one to "deflower" him and then immediately falls asleep. Basically, the movie had the same effect on me!

A Bit of Silliness Before Sandra Bullock Made it Big
I watched this movie at the AFI film festival in Santa Monica in 1992 or so and met Sandra in the lobby just before since I saw it with Kevin Williamson (of "Scream" fame) before he made it big and old school friend Sandra Bullock acknowledged him but otherwise wasn't interested in talking (now she'd die to take a meeting, I expect). This film was fairly lacking in depth and somewhat uneven, but it does have some likeable moments. I'd say it's average. For me I'd buy it to see the house they filmed in -- it was great, and after seeing the film I had the opportunity to walk through the house and check it out when the gay owner wanted to rent a room to me. I didn't end up doing that, but it was such a special place it was tempting, so I'd rent it just to see that. Not sure the average viewer would much like it though.
