Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
View MoreIt is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

View MoreWith a lacking, predictable plot that only surprised me twice, very hit or miss comedy, Ass- backwards morals that will send teens the wrong message and pretty bad acting (except who plays Costa who does his job to well of being someone you to shoot in the head) there isn't much to offer except mindless destruction and seeing how far the chaos goes. That alone left me interested throughout the movie but if that isn't enough for you there is nothing else on offer for you.
View MoreIt's pretty surprising to see Project X on the top of the most illegally downloaded movie of 2012 beating the Dark Knight Rises, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, and The Avengers. It made around 50 million dollars at box office which was "meh", so what is Project X so special about?Actually, there isn't much special about Project X and not much to say about is. Project X is a humongous, out-of-control, high school party which was held by some not-so-popular teenagers. So if you are expecting something like a twist or even a story in Project X, like me, just don't because you're watching Project X because you want have a blast.As I just mentioned previously, I was expecting something before watching Project X since I was literally thinking "that just can't be it" after watching the trailer. I had no idea what Project X is about since all I see is music, people, and alcohol in the trailer, there is no story going on, so I thought it might be something like Chronicle. I guess I'm half-right-half-wrong.Project X starred Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper, and Jonathan D. Brown who I never heard of. The only actor I heard of is Miles Teller who is just himself in the movie. So, basically, these three teenagers are the three teenagers in Superbad. There's the main character that is not in the popular group, the guy who just thinks he knows everything, and the other guy who's just not cool. Basically, they're going to hold a party while the parents are out. That's all it's about. I know I've been saying this a million times, but Project X is literally a guy recording a high school party. So I don't recommend to the adults who are 35 or over, because this movie is just for teenagers or young adults who had been to these kind of parties. Thus, Party X might recollect the memories in high school for some people, but others, might not. Project X is also a found-footage which I find no problem with it. It's all about a party so I guess it's the best way to introduce the characters, and to go deep into the party. Project X is nothing new to the genre and you've see many movies about parties going wild, such as Superbad, the Hangover, and other films that released after this, such as, 21 and Over and the Neighbors. And to me, Project X is not as funny as both Superbad and the Hangover. But as a whole it could still be enjoyable (if you like parties). The acting are convincing since they do like buddies in real life throwing a real party and the editing is not bad, too. The soundtrack is also pretty nice (party songs, of course).Overall, even though Project X is unoriginal, predictable and has nothing deep about it, it could still be enjoyable if you don't take it too seriously. I didn't really like Project X, but I don't hate it either. So, I guess you can go watch Project X if you're a party animal. Cheers.
View MoreWatchable, 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.
View MoreWhere do I even begin with this? The characters! They're horrendous! They're nothing but the lowest forms of teenage stereotypes I've ever seen. Seriously, this film must make teenagers look ABHORRENT! Please... If you're reading this... Teenagers aren't like this... The Writing! If this is a comedy, THAN IT'S NOT FUNNY! Gratuitous swearing and sex references alone will get you nowhere. There is no wit to this movie. It also fails as a crime movie because the plots aren't put together well enough. There are a few sub-plots in this movie. Many of them go absolutely nowhere, and contribute almost nothing to the overall plot of the movie. And the subplots are stupid anyway. And the message... OOH the message... Hey kids! Social rejection got you down? The solution is simple! Gather a bunch of untrustworthy strangers and invite them all to a big party, absolutely DESTROY your house, possibly putting your family into bankruptcy, cheat on your girlfriend (who gets forced into the plot during an incredibly pathetic "Emotional Climax" by the way...), and DON'T HOLD BACK ON THE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL, and you will SKYROCKET into popularity! This movie is just an attempt to pander to teenage boys. And a TERRIBLE attempt at that.
