Honestly, although I love the movie, I don't get people who buy into the glamor aspect of it and forget about convenient details, like Micheal's overdose or, you know, the whole brutal murder thing. It's supposed to show how unsustainable the club lifestyle is because of the massive drug use that accompanies it. But sadly I have seen several people in the real life club scene who were 'inspired' by the image presented by movies like Party Monster, and have gone on to be drug dealers/abusers or just impoverished nightclub promoters.
And while the movie is fun, I thought that the two lead actors attempts to portray how over the top they were bordered on parody. It seemed like they were somewhere between acting like gay people and making fun of gay stereotypes, and it just wasn't convincing to me. In fact I thought their acting was bad enough to be distracting, though the costuming and story made up for it.
