Project X


Project X follows three seemingly anonymous high school seniors as they attempt to finally make a name for themselves. Their idea is innocent enough: let's throw a party that no one will forget... but nothing could prepare them for this party. Word spreads quickly as dreams are ruined, records are blemished and legends are born. Project X is a warning to parents and police everywhere.

This movie was essentially a home video camera version of Superbad. The kid that lived in the house that the party was at was Michael Cera, his loud mouth friend was Jonah Hill and the fat sidekick was fat McLovin. The movie itself was decent. I liked the parts where the friends were riffing on each other and the parts of the story where the party was continuing to spiral out of control. However, at least half of this movie was a music video with kids jumping up and down. They literally did a part of the movie, you would get in to and laugh and what not and then there would be a 2-3 minute music video segment. It kind of ruined the flow of the movie for me.

I would somewhat recommend people checking this out. I did like the party careening out of control but it was a little too repetitive/choppy for me. I also would prefer movies like this not get made simply because having four kids I don't need stuff like this putting insane ideas in their heads. Never leaving the house again.
