Who payed the critics

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

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!

My first time watching in 6th grade on TV, and I love this film. This movie put The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) to shame because their's more comedy, drama, and better script. I have to admit, I wish that party was real because it would of been the best day in my life. Story is realistic, good acting, found footage found that feel real, very funny and good fun! When I first watch it, I thought it was real until I seen an interview of the main cast. Anyways good movie, worth the buy! 10.4/10

Nothing too much to say about the content of the movie really. Giving that nothing really happened? Perhaps it's not fair to give such a harsh comment, but the whole movie really is just about throwing a party for a not so popular high school kid and how sick it was and as you can expect... it went out of control. That being said, the best part is perhaps the dog jumping in the bouncy castle for me.

Project X (2012): Dir: Nima Nourizadeh / Cast: Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper, Jonathan Daniel Brown, Dax Flame, Kirby Bliss Blanton: As with Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Home Alone, this comedy caters to every teen's fantasy when it comes to freedom and responsibility. It starts out fine with parents off and gone and a party that goes horribly wrong. Cops are called and diverted, sex is quested and conquered, alcohol is vastly available, and a car ends up in the swimming pool. An endless amount of vulgar behaviour with an ending that seems to applaud these boys and reward them with popularity. Films like this can work, as it does with National Lampoon's Animal House and American Pie, but here it seems more exploited as oppose to addressed. Nima Nourizadeh presents the hysteria of forbidden freedom but unlike The Hangover, the characters are merely stereotypes. Thomas Mann portrays the reluctant kid who betrays the trust of his parents because he allows himself to be talked into the chaos. The whole relationship bit is laughable since the so-called plain Jane is actually hot. Then he spends the remainder of the film whining as if the victim to what he allowed. Oliver Cooper plays the kid pushing for sexual conquests and rationalizes the nonsense. Jonathan Daniel Brown plays the typical overweight nerd out to lose his virginity. Dax Flame videos the charade and does little else. Kirby Bliss Blanton plays one of the friends with a gay crush. It attempts to capture the energy of teenage rebellion but misfires with its applause of behaviour that deserves to be marked with an x. Score: 5 / 10
