Perfect cast and a good story

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Theater-Comments
Usually I do not like movies based on real life events. Having said this, Project X is both a very enjoyable and very relatable movie. The plot is simple and not too burdened down with details that nobody needs or cares about. The acting for the most part is fine and the characters are portrayed well, with the exception of Kirby who is described as having always been a part of the group of close knit friends. I feel as though this could have been showcased a little bit more, giving more meaning to the relationship between her and Thomas that buds at the end of the movie. For those of you who have not yet seen the movie, be prepared for the beginning to drag on and on. But do not get discouraged, for the pace will pick up, very, very, dramatically. The crux of the film begins as what Thomas thinks will be a party with no more than 50 or so people, just enough to be cool, but that escalates to 1500 strangers turns into the party of the century and eventually culminates in flash-banging, both before and after the cops arrive, and even a angry drug dealer with a flamethrower. To sum up this movie goes from a crawl to warp speed craziness in what is a highly enjoyable movie that is great for a group of friends to enjoy any given weekend (as long as they don't enjoy it too much...)

Watchable, but such a waste of time. The performances are OK, the cast, OK, the direction competent, but it pretends to have a message. And that message is so offensive that it grates. By the films end, where the stupid cast of "Young" party goers, who are game for everything and ignore the world around them. treating people who do not find their mindless destruction of property-And here it is fair to point out that the property destroyed is not there own- as unimaginative and unsympathetic. The stupid lead and his equally stupid father, stand reviewing the total wreckage of the house and property. They exchange mild comments as though it didn't really matter that much , and that the father has some kind of sneaking admiration of his son, for achieving the disaster. Only morons will find this waste of money worthwhile.

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

Those are the three words I would use to describe this film. This movie has a basic "humongous high school party" plot but what was really wrong with it was the way it was put onto screen. The script has several subplots I could care less about and is filled with an unbelievable amount of unfunny, misogynist, mean spirited and crude jokes. In the course of the film, I absolutely loathed Oliver Cooper's character named Costa. He was an absolute disgusting sight on screen, him and his personality. No film character like that has made me disgusted like he has in a very long time. This film was also promoting the use of drugs and alcohol without showing it's lethal side effects. This so called "film" depressed me because of the fact that people actually enjoy it's mean spirited nonsense and went out of their way to pay $12.50 at their local cinemas to see immaturity and harassment put into an 88 minute film. If I could give this poor excuse of a film a 0 out of 10, I would.
