The Party Crashers IMDb TMDB
A gigolo, a spoiled heiress, a champion female figure skater, a live band, and three desperate men are all brought together under the same roof, for a party thrown by a young, hot-shot, corporate attorney for the heist of a lifetime. It's a party no one will ever forget, with live music, catered food, a fully stocked bar, several felonies, and a host prepared to capitalize on any eventuality. An unusually funny account of sex, greed, violence and corruption. The Party Crashers is a unique take on life and love in Los Angeles.
