The Party Animal
A chemical reaction got him some action!
Directed by David Beaird
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A frenetic, irreverent 1980s sex comedy built on crude humor and absurdist schemes, where friendship and misguided mentorship drive the plot forward despite constant rejection and humiliation.
The Party Animal is a documentary-style comedy about a sex-starved man, Pondo Sinatra, a 26-year-old college student whom everyone agrees is doomed to die a virgin. Desperate to break what seems to be a cosmic curse, he tries ever more bizarre schemes to seduce one the sexy, scantily-clad women who seem to be everywhere, taunting him and enjoying his misery. Despite his best efforts, however, he is rejected everywhere, even at the local cathouse. When Pondo threatens to kill himself, Studley, his ladykilling best friend, tries to help him in his quest to "get him a little", as does Studley's mentor, a wise old janitor named Elbow.
