Details

Life begins when the sun goes down for a group of party-prone friends attending an L.A. rave. The music starts and the dream begins as party-goer Puck gives them each a sample of his "love potion". This glowing green liquid fuels their inner desires and allows the friends to connect with their long secret loves during this night of dancing, lights, and unadulterated fun. The weather is hot, the music is pounding, the mood is electric and the stakes are high in this modern adaptation of Shakespeare's most popular comedy.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
aimless-46 Too bad they did not release a soundtrack CD because the music is the only redeeming thing about this movie. Imagine an unlikely cross between "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Redneck Zombies". Assemble a cast too physically unappealing (and too sleazy) to get work in the porn industry even though their acting skills are on that level.When both the director and the writer have their careers stalled for three years after a movie, it is a good indication that you will be viewing a truly staggering mess. Unfortunately the script kept only a bare outline of the Shakespeare play and replaced the rest with student film quality dialogue and plot elements. Most high school class project films are better than this-if only because they have a shorter running length.This is slightly more dull and mind-numbing than spending two hours observing a bunch of drones and wiggers indulging themselves at an actual club. If you are determined to stay with it until the end, and are searching for a way to maintain you sanity, you can focus on trying to figure out where the $1.5 Million budget went since none of it made it onto the screen.Obviously this movie is not for Shakespeare purists but neither is it for anyone with a few still active brain cells. The cinematography is high school MiniDV quality, the production design is accidental, and the editing supports the theory a lot of drugs made their way into the systems of the post-production staff. I am embarrassed to admit even watching it, oh the sacrifices I make for public service.Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
angry_fat_ass This movie was made along the lines of SLC Punk. It wasn't meant for the casual, every day viewer. If you have ever gone to a rave and are into EDM and club drugs, you don't even really have to be into the drugs, then this movie is for you. The characters developed so well, and i a character wasn't developing that well, then they weren't too important. Setting was done perfectly, it made you want to get up and dance yourself. That brings us to the sound track which even includes Ferry Corsten's "punk". The storyline is also unforgettable and makes sure you don't forget any character from Xander to Puck. I would have to recommend this movie to any one I know and you'd have to buy the sound track with it.
BadMovieNutt This movie was an all right attempt for a first try out of the gate cast and crew. I understand budget constraints, but some of the members of this cast seem to be there for the sake of saving money. It just seemed a little thrown together at different parts. Most of the cast holds their own with their respective parts, but there is on glaring part that left me scratching my head. Terry Scannell, who played Doc, was just way out of his league. That's not saying a whole lot because there are no De Niro's or Nicholson's in this movie, but his haphazard approach to acting makes me believe he would be out of his element if he was on the big screen with Andrew Dice Clay and Carrot Top. I just don't see what the producers saw when they hired him. Maybe I'm being a little too harsh. Or maybe they couldn't get Pauly Shore to do the film. Yeah, Pauly Shore would've been a huge improvement now that I think of it.
pinche101 I just finished watching this movie at SXSW. I believe this was a final cut. The movie is very loosely based on the book. This is a movie in which you should read the book (A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM) in order to get the subtle jokes. However, as it's own entity, the movie does stand on it's own. The movie has good Rave shots which won't require stoping and rewinding. There are some very good moments especially Puck and Devon. This was a good film with a killer sound track. I would recommend watching this movie with a very light heart.
