Film Threat “You may be taken aback by the movie as it’s not a traditional story - less a straightforward narrative, more a musical odyssey of friendship and growing up.” Says Alan Ng of Film Threat in his review of PARTY HARD. “I can’t help but think about the final late-night moments of American Graffiti.” IndyRed “At the end of the day? Not only is "Party Hard" a good film, but it's an excellent low-budget movie. It has energy, it has some drama, and it has heart.”
Paul Levinson’s Infinite Regress “At its best, the movie evokes slivers of After Hours, American Graffiti, and Diner, and that's not at all because Party Hard is some kind of period piece. It's because the interactions of three guys somewhere between throwing up and discussing Immanuel Kant -- with each other and the world around them -- transcend time.”
Ruthless Reviews “That being stated, for a 6K budget film, Party Hard was remarkable, especially the acting of Hunter Bolton. The late night act at the East Room, and the duet with Chandler and Lilly, was the best part of the movie.”
To Tony Productions “This is a film with a good light hearted spirit that has a lot of elements that work throughout. It is just the combination of those pieces that feel a little off. We should applaud the number of extras and techniques to make it all happen, of course. This film also has an excellent score with a lot of great musical sections that help keep the energy flowing as well.” FILM PURGATORY “Overall, PARTY HARD is a well-made film with a solid production and cast. It was made to be the ultimate ‘hangout’ movie and it is very successful in that endeavor. Despite its boisterous appearance consisting of loud bar music, crass language and disjointed storytelling, at the heart of the film lies a very solemn issue that plagues the hearts of many young folk today. While it may not have the production value of a bigger budget film such as Lost in Translation, it has similar feel and story beats to the iconic Academy Award winner.”
