Projet X

I love all the dialogue so much, comedy is great, soundtrack is awesome and entertainment is value perfect! I'm probably one of very few to give Project X a 10! Not much else to say except such a fun flick.

This film tells the story of a high school party turning out of control.

There are a lot of films about high school party, but this one is probably is the craziest. The events escalate gradually to the point of being outrageous, which is what makes the film very entertaining. What is more, is that the story is almost believable!

That is a really fun movie. So entertaining, so amusing. Yes, it might have some clichés, yes, the characters might not be analyzed in the deepest way, yes, there might be not much of a moral message, yes, some humor might not be super original, yes, it might not be completely realistic. But the movie never supposed to be any of this. If you are looking for super artistic- clever-Oscar film, you are in the wrong place. But if you are looking for great entertainment, simple laughs and easy night with friends- that stuff is for you. Makes you recall all the crazy parties you have been through )))). Whatever some people say, the 'making the movie' style of the film looks and fits great into the concept of the film. It really feels natural since I remember myself to film parties like that (well, not entirely like that, but still). Watch it, especially if you are young, watch it. It is real FUN!!!

I swear I'm never going to get bored of the found footage genre. Maybe I'm just simple, but it has the ability to breathe life into tired genres. Or maybe I just really allow myself to get carried away with it all. Project X is that simple story of the outcast kids throwing a party to become popular. It soon spirals out of hand, but what Project X does right, is that it makes sure to really push it ridiculously far without betraying its set-up. None of this would work if we didn't have some lovable protagonists to root for. We have our hero Tom, the friendly and most normal guy. JB is the slightly rotund geek that tries to act sophisticated, and finally we have Costa. A big douchey dick. This could go horribly wrong, but his pranks are often harmless and Cooper plays it in a way where you can see how desperate he is for attention. It makes him very sympathetic, even when you can't believe how outrageous he is being. The film builds up the party slowly, which is perfect. It starts off with a few drinks. The dog is then attached to helium balloons, and once the ecstasy comes into play all bets are off. The film is also littered with those bizarre curiosities that often make great comedy, which thankfully it doesn't overuse. Two of my favourites were the 11 year old security guards. I would have liked to have seen more of the party halfway through, as it turns into a huge montage of hilarious moments. Overall, this is a riotous teen fantasy, where people act like cocks, but you somehow hope they succeed in one way or another. In such a politically correct world, I'm kind of glad it didn't pussy out.

I know when to appreciate a movie with real meaning, and this is not the case. If you take this movie on face value - a humorous pure popcorn movie with no hidden meanings to teach you the values of life, it's pretty good. I don't see why it's getting bashed because for what it is, it was entertaining and funny. Before you go in to see this movie ask yourself what exactly you want to get out of it, if it's 1 hour and 20 minutes of mindless entertainment, then you're set. If, however you feel Project X will leave you pondering life and everything around you, this movie is not for you. Don't listen to the old people on here who knew what they were getting themselves into and still paid and saw the movie only to turn around and rate it poorly because it was below whatever expectations they have for a party movie...
