Daisy von Scherler Mayer's ode to a '90s Holly Golightly is a pleasantly lightweight, if forgettable diversion. Indie film queen Parker Posey stars as the kind of self-indulgent, club-hopping diva who would show up for the opening of a dry cleaners. When her funds begin to run perilously low, she reluctantly takes a job in a library, with a boss who's not impressed by her partying skills. Although the film seems to be intended as sort of morality tale "lite," the script is so underwritten and the director's point-of-view so uncertain, that it comes across only as a series of disjointed, albeit occasionally funny episodes. Posey's arch comic style is entertaining for a time, but like the character, eventually becomes tiresome. Anthony DeSando as a gay friend and Omar Townsend as a falafel salesman whom Posey briefly adores, are both good, contributing a touch of humanity the film would otherwise lack. Michael Costello, Rovi
