wolfens29 This is one movie which will appeal to people who like Trance music /trance tech music which i readily relate to..as i'm a big fan of trance.. I was surprised that inspite of the dancing ..this is a "not-bad" story line at all.. Im all so carried away with the music that i just might be partial to this movie.. but having said that the story is something to reckon with .. yes i love the 3 lead actors in the movie... kinda shock that one of the friends actually died of drug overdose... kinda sad .. as these friends are doing their best to achieve goals set in their lives and it happen sadly..Inspiring definitely... i was surprise how he concocted the music , sound effects and all related to his experience in life.. that's like a big WOW... it gives me the chill after i heard the final music... i warn people who does not like dance music not to watch this film or even attempt to put their comments as i don't see the point.. its like watching an atheist giving their comment on a religious film ...we let people who appreciates music films to review this film .. then we listen once again..

Josh Turnbull Critics hate it, I love it. I don't know what it was because yeah it was predictable but for me this film just clicked. This film was based on a very straight forward plot-line but covered so much more. Through this movie you have; the story of friendship, exotic romance, great music and quite simply the hardship of life weather it's job related a rough childhood this film covers it. It's a simply film that is able to attract most film lovers, if your into romance, documentary's or action movies your'll probably like this film. It's the story of a boy (Zac Efron) who DJ's at small local gig's that are organized by his friends. A famous Dj see's that he has talent and helps him get a huge concert. But during this there is cheating, death, fighting and Zac and his friends find their place in the world. I would definitely recommend seeing this film as it's a great, inspiring film that will almost certainly make you want to go to Las Vagas and Party!

joliekaufmann ***My review doesn't mention REAL spoilers, I just didn't want to upset anyone.*** I went into this movie with a closed minded view of the EDM culture, from my own personal experiences,and I was extremely surprised. It wasn't just about the sex, drugs, and EDM. It was about the climb! The movie made me rethink my own life style. With Zac Efrons character, I know so many people could relate to the struggles and the hustle of everyday life and just making it. I think the movie really gives a whole-hearted experience to the viewer. Everyone goes through conflicts with friends but when you are trying to climb the ladder of success sometimes we can't relate to the struggles of our friends. This was definitely one of the movies that I sat back and watched. Wanting more in the end. The cast was perfect for their roles and I wish it would of grossed more in the box office, but truthfully I never even saw a trailer. I would definitely put this in my top 10 just for the soundtrack alone. Next to Trainspotting and 1999 Human Traffic. Because they are all about a group of friends, causing mischief and mayhem but in the end staying together for better or for worse.

Hellmant 'WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS': Four Stars (Out of Five)Low-budget drama flick; about a 23-year-old aspiring DJ, trying to make it in the San Fernando Valley music scene. It was directed by first-time feature filmmaker Max Joseph; and it was written by Joseph, Meghan Oppenheimer and Richard Silverman (all first-time feature scriptwriters). The movie stars Zac Efron, Wes Bentley, Emily Ratajkowski, Jonny Weston, Shiloh Fernandez and Alex Shaffer. I think it's a pretty interesting look at the electronic dance music scene, in California. Efron plays Cole Carter; a 23-year-old that desperately wants to become a successful DJ. He lives in San Fernando Valley, with his friend Mason (Weston). Mason also acts as Cole's producer. He and their other friends, Ollie (Fernandez) and Squirrel (Shaffer), spend a lot of their time promoting Cole; at the local college campus. Things take a serious turn, when Cole meets an older veteran DJ, named James Reed (Bentley); who takes Cole under his wing. Things become especially complicated, when Cole falls for James's girlfriend, Sophie (Ratajkowski).The movie only made a modest profit at the Box Office, and it got only mixed reviews from critics. I really like it though. It has a cult classic feel to it; reminiscent to movies like 1990s 'PUMP UP THE VOLUME'. It's well directed and written, and there's a really memorable animated drug sequence in it. The performances are all decent; especially Efron, in the lead. Definitely worth seeing.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/EuKmXpjFt-k
