Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain Scattershot and hyperactive in a way only Japanese cinema can get away with, Party 7 is an enjoyable frantic mess. After a speedy animated introduction to 7 different characters, we are suddenly thrust into a narrative about some stolen money. As the man hides in a hotel room, he has no idea he is being watched by some professional peepers (one dressed in super-hero garb and calling himself Captain Banana). As people come looking for the money, the hotel room gets crowded, and twists are revealed. It's very claustrophobic, being set in just two rooms, which is painfully awkward given the over-the-top style. The humour is broad and weird. Funny and fun, even though I was disappointed that the image on the DVD case is nowhere to be found in the film :(

kmevy Being my second Ishii movie after "Taste of Tea" "Party7" simply amazed me with its unique style, character-design and hilarious dialog. Now i am really looking forward to all the other films!! ;)Some reviews criticized the fact that there is no actual story. Well, in my opinion there ARE actually multiple stories packed within the characters and in the way of directing. Simply the appearance of the cast is telling its own story; about the characters past, about their minds, even about humans in general; about their behavior etc. An interesting element of this film is that all these hilariously comedic elements are linked to tragedy. If you look closely at all these protagonists you won't overlook the fact that all of them are bearing a burden related to their past. The line between comedy and tragedy is often being crossed, but it is amazingly well executed; i would even say in a poetic way.There isn't a need for typical ways of storytelling. Especially the lacking of such typical elements makes Ishii's films so unique, interesting and funny. It has even a little bit of an impressionistic vibe ;) But there is at least one story-related twist which brings this film niftily to an end.Oh!! I mustn't forget to mention again that all these ideas and dialogs are simply ingenious!! Although some might not enjoy the "slightly" kinky Japanese humor ... well! In that case: My deepest condolences!! ;P

Miike Ellis (flagrantsake) wow...i was looking for a Japanese film that was the perfect cross between 'Mystery Men' and 'Mystery Train'. the cinematography is exceptional, very isolated and claustrophobic.....you really get no sense of an outside world until near the end. Mystery Train' had to be a huge influence on this movie. the animation was maybe the only distraction for me...the ending, not to give it away, was perfect.

craigb-1 This is the funniest film I have ever seen. I will say no more, really- preposterous, brilliant, and hilarious. Great work.The actors dive into the script head first, with absolutely no let up, ever, turning in the best ensemble comedy work I have seen in years. Laugh out loud excellence, Captain Banana is worth the price of admission.Craig
