Plot.
The Party Animal is a documentary-style comedy about a sex-starved man, Pondo Sinatra, a 26-year-old college student whom everyone agrees is doomed to die a virgin. Desperate to break what seems to be a cosmic curse, he tries ever more bizarre schemes to seduce one the sexy, scantily-clad women who seem to be everywhere, taunting him and enjoying his misery. Despite his best efforts, however, he is rejected everywhere, even at the local cathouse. When Pondo threatens to kill himself, Studley, his ladykilling best friend, tries to help him in his quest to "get him a little", as does Studley's mentor, a wise old janitor named Elbow.

Details.
Wiki.
The Party Animal is a 1984 American fantasy comedy film written and directed by David Beaird. It was independently produced and was released across the United States, where it was critically derided, but did respectably well at the box office.
The film is a slapstick mockumentary-style comedy that spoofed the college campus sexploitation genre popularized by Animal House and Porky's. Though the movie was made on a shoestring budget, its soundtrack featured Buzzcocks, The Untouchables (who also perform in the film), The Fleshtones, The Convertables and Chelsea. The theme song for The Party Animal was "Why Can't I Touch It".
The film is available through MGM Home entertainment on a limited edition series of 80s comedies.
