Party Girl Is Fun!
jazzbox220 April 2009
How many times has this happened to you? You're at work, minding your own business, when your boss assigns you to a project, working with the most irritating coworker in the office. Don't you hate that? Well, if you hate that, you'll love "Party Girl," an award-winning new TV pilot from the minds of Amanda Ramirez and Kimberly Amato.

Set in the office of a party-planning company, "Party Girl" follows Leni Figueroa (Amanda Ramirez) as she juggles life at work and home. In this first episode, there are unreasonable demands, irrational clients, a difficult mother and, of course, the crazy colleague (Kimberly Amato).

Created/written by Ramirez, and written and directed by Amato, "Party Girl" is a fun and entertaining workplace comedy. The situations encountered by the lead character will hit home with anybody that's worked in the real world while trying to balance a home life. The performances are solid, but Ramirez and Amato shine brighter than the rest. They have an easy repartee that is fun to watch.

Produced on a shoestring budget, "Party Girl" is a bit raw. In fact, it's more of a demo than a full-fledged episode, but it is executed well and passes the most important test: It leaves you wanting to know what happens next! Let's hope we get the chance to find out.

Cheers to this Getting Picked Up

I had the honor of seeing this Pilot a couple months ago and I fully agree with what "jazzbox" says about it. The writing is clean and sharp and the characters are a great dichotomy of each other--it's the perfect blend.

Kimberly Amato plays such a contrast role as the goofy girl as compared to the psychologically intense role that put her on the acting map as the Title Character Raven in the Indie Horror "Under the Raven's Wing". This is my first experience with Amanda Ramirez, but she crafted her role perfectly as someone trying to balance way too much.

Here's to hoping someone at a Network is smart enough to nab this sucker up.
