Review of The Party Never Stops: Diary of a Binge Drinker

The least one can say about this film is that it is artificial and a bit moralistic ! A young lady is sent to university, obviously from a wealthy family and spends all of her money on drinking herself sick. How interesting ! NUmerous passages of the film shown young idiots drinking themselves silly ! Funny thing is, no one is smoking either tobacco or marijuana ! It doesn't ring true. In my experience, all these activities are generally practised concomitantly by students. In addition to this you have a real pain-in-the-neck mother who is wasting the family money on frequent telephone calls to her daughter ! It is absolutely laughable. When I went to university, I had a phone call from my parents about every 2 months, so I do not really understand the carryings-on in this film. Perhaps you need to be a USA student to understand. I found many sequences pretty repetitive and the end most predictable though I actually had forecast Jessie's friend to die whilst falling from the roof during a binge drinking session. In the event, she died a little later at a binge drinking session at a friends house. All in all this is not really very serious, I cannot imagine where these students get all the money from to be able to spend so much on drink so I have doubts about the veracity of the film. Students generally have difficulty paying for their lodging and books and hardly have money to squander away on liquor ! Not a film to be really taken seriously.
