   Summary: Birdie Num-Num!
Alright, so you're heard of Peter Sellers and all his Pink Panther stuff - good for you as just about everyone else has too. If you really want to see Peter Sellers in some off-beat, not-so-famous films with roll-off-the-couch-from laughing-so-hard funny moments, watch The Party and After the Fox.

The Party is one of those hook movies that draws you in from the beginning. The opening ten minutes of watching Sellers, playing an actor who not only can't act, but screws up every scene he is in - is priceless. One of the best catch lines in movie history comes during this opening: "Does that include television too?"

The plot develops simply around a bumbling idiot who accidentally gets invited to a Hollywood Director's private party. At the party, Hrundi Bakshi (Seller's character) manages to disrupt, destroy, foul-up and insult anything and anyone he comes in contact with. The man can't even feed a parrot without causing a scene! "Birdie Num-Num."

The Party moves along at a very relaxing, enjoyable pace and works for most of the film. Things get a little too silly and out of hand at the very end, but who really cares at that point - it was the ride that was enjoyable.

I recently watched this again (2008) with a 16 year old, and the kid was laughing right along with me, so I guess this movie does span decades. Peter Sellers is priceless with his portrayal of a Pakistani actor in the 1960's. His accent and delivery is awesome and too funny to ignore.

If you want to really get some good laughs in this movie, never take your eye off the waiter offering drinks to all the guests - if it wasn't for Peter Sellers, this character would steal the show!

   Summary: Very Funny
Hilariously funny! The funniest scenes are those that don't even have any dialog. I highly recommend this very funny movie. I had never seen this movie. It is hilarious!

   Summary: Rolling with laughter
You know a movie's funny when you're watching it by yourself, and you're cracking up! Although the movie is dated and sometimes slow, it brought back childhood memories of watching other Peter Sellers movies with my family. I encouraged my oldest son to see it as he is a fan of a similar comedian Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean). Now my son for no reason will occasionally simply utter, "birdie num nums," and we both start laughing.
