Party Girl is a 1995 independent comedy-drama film directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer and starring Parker Posey in the title role.Mary (Posey) is a 20-something Hard-Drinking Party Girl in New York City, who gets busted for hosting an illegal rave in her apartment and thrown in jail. Turning to her godmother Judy (Sasha Von Scherler), a librarian, for help, she gets herself bailed out but Judy refuses to loan her money, instead offering her a job as a library clerk. Mary is initially doubtful, but soon discovers she has a natural talent for librarianship. Despite this, Judy doesn't respect her, thinking Mary will turn out just like her mother, a woman with "no common sense." With all of this Mary has to balance a budding romance with Mustapha (Omar Townsend), a Lebanese falafel salesman who wants to be a teacher, the continued affections of her ex-boyfriend Nigel (Liev Schreiber), and the budding career of her DJ friend Leo (Guillermo DÃaz). | |

Brilliant, but Lazy | |
Party Girl (1995) / int_355007c3 | comment |
Brilliant, but Lazy: Mary's problem is that she has an enormous amount of potential but barely uses any of it. When she does she's able to do things like learn the Dewey Decimal System in one night. | |

"Arabian Nights" Days | |
Party Girl (1995) / int_76dc4f31 | comment |
"Arabian Nights" Days: the theme of the party Mary throws near the end of the movie. Mustapha is noticeably unamused. | |

Artistic License | |
Party Girl (1995) / int_dd6ce5db | comment |
Artistic License - Library Science: the movie is actually fairly good at depicting working in a library accurately, except for the scene where Mary organizes Leo's music using the Dewey Decimal Classical System. The DDC has very specific categories for organizing items by subject, and the categories that Mary uses are not even close to correct. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
Party Girl (1995) / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: Judy makes it very clear that to be a librarian you need an MLS, therefore Mary can only be a library clerk. This is Truth in Television, as there are people who will get very miffed at you if you claim to be a librarian when you don't have the degree. | |

Jerkass: Judy for a lot of the movie. All of the other librarians and library clerks are able to see Mary's potential (including the initially rude Wanda), except for Judy, who continues to see Mary as a screwup until the very end. | |
