PARTY SCENERY: Who needs it?

Sex, drugs, and stupidity become the stuff of sociological study in this simple-minded parody of the LA party scene. In his feature debut, Paul Sapiano offsets a crude visual style and flashy performances with a strait-laced voiceover about dating rituals in an attempt at satire. But he has no sense of comic timing, and his actors are just as clueless, so the jokes fizzle. And cinematographer Roman Jakobi’s manic visual rhythms don’t help, with his camera moving klutzily about the frame. The whole movie is one running gag — it’s like watching a stand-up comedian perform the same stereotyped impersonation over and over.
