One of the worst movies I've ever seen
... View Morejust watch it!
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreUpon reading the description I had high hopes for the story and reference to the EDM community. However, high hopes were quickly demolished. References to the EDM community as being a ragtag group of drug heads casts a very high shadow on a very welcoming and accepting group of individuals. This film has done nothing more than to hit home the idea to the general public that EDM fans are nothing more than drug using delinquents. The truth is far from what XOXO has portrayed. The film has left out a major part and foundation of the EDM culture which is to accept one another. Instead, the film has decided to portray a stereotypical view which is that of drugs, sex, and scandalous behavior. Perhaps before making a movie in such a distinct genre, producers and directors alike should dive deeper into such a sub-genre in order to gain a true introspective. Very little evidence based on this film shows that they have not done their research.
... View MoreOkey, I don't write a review on a movie too often, but after I watched this i just had to. The movie starts off OK. You get to know Ethan and by the first couple of minuets you are already rooting for him, but then things start to take off. The movie speeds up really fast and you don't get to capture the moments in this film.It suddenly feels like you are watching a music video and it all goes way to fast. The story switches between many characters and story- lines then suddenly it's to much to wrap your head around. I do not blame it on the main actors (Ethan and Krystal) because they fit amazing together. I blame it on the script. This movie could of been so good if they kept it simple. After what you feel like is a tumble you are starting to get to the finale, but the story do not fit or makes sense. The way he gets to preform and simply how hes manager just got drugged and so on does simply not fit. They are trying to keep all these characters in the loop, but what they really doing is making it hard to watch.If they used a little more time on less characters and make it all unfold to a great natural finally this would simply be one of my favorite moves because i am such a EDM fan. (Props to the music they used btw) And then the end the movie just cuts off. I am doubting that there will be a sequel but people wanna see what happens after he's set and big finally. Nothing much, but just a nice couple of scenes to close the movie out.Finally: A OK movie that could of been amazing with a little bit better scripting, but I still enjoyed it!
... View MoreThis is a short and sweet movie with an infectious positive feel and a great soundtrack. It's an easy watch that is good fun with some laugh out loud moments. XOXO is not blow your mind amazing but worth a watch on a lazy day. The acting is pretty good and there are some beautiful visuals involved. Especially good if you've been to a festival as it shows festivals for the drug crazy mad places that they often are, just with a lot more mud than in this movie! XOXO handles the multiple story lines quite well, but more emphasis on the older guy's story would be better.Some finer details in the plot seemed to be brushed over but it's understandable as there are multiple plots occurring. Overall this is one of the best things Sarah Hyland has done outside of Modern Family.
... View MorePer a friend's recommendation, I managed to watch this brand new Netflix original movie the other night. This put me in the mind set of a few other movies like it -- 1999's "Go" and "200 Cigarettes", along with some of the teen flicks of the eighties. "Modern Family" star, Sarah Hyland, heads up an ensemble cast of characters trying to make it the big rave that is known as "XOXO". There's the party bus that breaks down, the budding star trying to make it big as a DJ, and of course all the DRUGS!! Haha I really enjoyed this; would definitely recommend checking this out when you get a chance...
