tagroyale-89150 This is obviously not a philosopical film by any means, neither it tries to be, it's just a simple comedy movie that aspires to be entertaining, and at least for me, the film achieved that. The characters are cool, and this movie manages to be interesting and entertaining even before the party. The soundtrack is just impressive. If you want to watch this just remember you aren't going to be watching something profound, but rather a really fun comedy movie.
Chance_Boudreaux19 This is the movie that perfectly sums about the sheer dumbness of this generation. I understand that movies like these have been made for a while e.g. Animal House (which is actually funny) but for some reason this one seems so much more obnoxious and just plain unfunny. That's due to the awful characters that are annoying and shallow. There is no need to see this movie, if you want a taste of it go outside and watch a group of teenagers taking selfies and talking about bullshit for 5 minutes and then imagine that for 90 minutes with some partying to awful music and you have Project X. As I said in the title this works great as a documentary about millenials and most things that are wrong with society right now and if that's what you would like to watch then go ahead but I don't think it's worth anyone's time. The lesson emphasized by the beautiful and touching ending which I won't spoil is that you should go out there and do whatever you want, it's very similiar to Good Will Hunting but better. I really hope they make a sequel, the twist could be that someone doesn't remember last night's wacky events but they view it all in the morning on Snapchat, that would give found footage movies the new edge that they need, make it happen Hollywood!
Kane With a lacking, predictable plot that only surprised me twice, very hit or miss comedy, Ass- backwards morals that will send teens the wrong message and pretty bad acting (except who plays Costa who does his job to well of being someone you to shoot in the head) there isn't much to offer except mindless destruction and seeing how far the chaos goes. That alone left me interested throughout the movie but if that isn't enough for you there is nothing else on offer for you.
Theater-Comments Usually I do not like movies based on real life events. Having said this, Project X is both a very enjoyable and very relatable movie. The plot is simple and not too burdened down with details that nobody needs or cares about. The acting for the most part is fine and the characters are portrayed well, with the exception of Kirby who is described as having always been a part of the group of close knit friends. I feel as though this could have been showcased a little bit more, giving more meaning to the relationship between her and Thomas that buds at the end of the movie. For those of you who have not yet seen the movie, be prepared for the beginning to drag on and on. But do not get discouraged, for the pace will pick up, very, very, dramatically. The crux of the film begins as what Thomas thinks will be a party with no more than 50 or so people, just enough to be cool, but that escalates to 1500 strangers turns into the party of the century and eventually culminates in flash-banging, both before and after the cops arrive, and even a angry drug dealer with a flamethrower. To sum up this movie goes from a crawl to warp speed craziness in what is a highly enjoyable movie that is great for a group of friends to enjoy any given weekend (as long as they don't enjoy it too much...)
