(Columbia TriStar, 94 min., R)
"He's not a dick, he's a patron," godmother-librarian Judy corrects her =
NYC party-hardy goddaughter Mary (Parker Posey), who has been hired as a =
library clerk. It's one of the funnier lines in an otherwise uneven film =
about a club-hopping deb-wannabe who tries to balance her chaotic =
personal life with the ordered world of Melvil Dewey. If you're going to =
make one frivolous purchase this year, this is a funnier and much more =
appealing portrait of the library world than the idiotic 1992 effort The =
Gun in Betty-Lou's Handbag. A strong optional purchase. (R. Pitman)

I thought that it was really funny at times "he-he-hello!" but the =
dialog was kinda lame. How many times did her friend say "You're mother =
had no common sense"? It's cotton candy for the brain, but heck, it's =
nice to see a movie depiction of librarians' work being cool AND useful. =
*Loved* the scene where she catalogs the LPs :)

Last night I happened to stumble on Party Girl on the Oh! Oxygen =
Channel.
It's on again today (see below), in case you want to set you VCR for =
time
shifting.
I was curious to see what folks on this list liked about this movie.
Although it did have its moments, Mary was no Holly Golightly.
1pm/12C The Oxygen Movie
Party Girl
A flighty, unemployed, 24-year-old Manhattanite tries to get her life =
in
order, from rent to romance to a real job in a library. Along the way =
she
loves and loses, gets thrown in jail for having a rent party, gets =
hired,
fired and rehired, and maybe grows up a bit in the process. Starring =
