Diane and Travis throw great parties. This year they are throwing three: a birthday bash for Felix; a Halloween masquerade; and a New Year's celebration. Whether it's the faulty pyrotechnics of a "recovering" magician... Travis' struggle to turn Diane's kitchen into a micro-brewery... the imagined death of Phillip's Ethiopian son... Fletcher's attempt to bed a celebrity or Diane's drunken attempt at seduction... something is always out of place and someone is definitely going to get hurt!
An all-star ensemble cast that includes Justine Bateman (Satisfaction), Noah Baumbach (The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou), Peter Bogdanovich (Mr. Jealousy), Dean Cameron (Summer School), Rae Dawn Chong (Commando), Chris Eigeman (Kicking and Screaming), Carlos Jacott (Marriage Story), Annabella Sciorra (Mr. Jealousy), Ally Sheedy (The Breakfast Club) and Eric Stoltz (Kicking and Screaming) shine in this hysterical indie comedy where tension is the prime mixer, served with a splash of laughs and a twist of mayhem.

Press Quotes
Noah Baumbach has basically disowned one of his funniest films ... 'Highball' plays like a farewell to the brief first phase of his career--an awkward but hilarious goodbye party. Highball isn't nearly so honed as 'Frances Ha', but it may actually be even funnier.
—Jesse Hassenger, The AV Club
An impressive cast... effective... comedic...
—IndieWire
