Seeing this tonight. Tracking is insane, better than John Carter. I'm sure that'll change but that would be crazy if this got a better opening weekend.

It's a teenage party movie where a bunch of crazy shit happens. Of course it is going to do better than Prince of Persia of MARS

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Will watch on some other format for Nichole Bloom

Just got dragged along to a preview of this.

If you manage your expectations appropriately, you will probably love it.

I am 22. I can't imagine anyone older enjoying this. >_>

It's one of those movies where the atmosphere is perfectly captured - there were times when I felt drunk and stumbling around a party as everyone did their own thing. I love movies that do this kind of thing.

It does get pretty ridiculous and REALLY hectic.

I CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS IF YOU WISH, GAF

Can you spill the whole story, like how it ends up with riot police and flamethrowers?

Not a chance with 17yr olds

Not if all naked actors and those around the boobs are over 18.

You don't think all the people in that movie are actually high school aged, do you?

There are HEAPS of boobs. Heaps of sex.

The plot:

- Kids plan a party for the protagonist
- Protagonist and his friends go around school asking people to come
- Parents leave house to the kids
- Neighbours are informed there is a party
- Kids go to drug dealers house to get pot for the party. They steal a gnome from him because it "looks cool". Drug dealer goes crazy, kids drive off
- Eventually everyone finds out about the party and rocks up
- Heaps of shit happens. People dance, people fuck, people get high. It's done incredibly well as I did feel like partying afterwards
- Long life female friend shows interest in protagonist
- Hot chick attempts to bed protagonist, long life female friend gets angry after seeing them
- Neighbour complains, kids attack him, he leaves
- Cops come, everyone stays quiet, cops leave, party resumes
- Heaps of shit breaks (especially things that the parents point out before they leave)
- The drug dealer's gnome breaks, ecstasy is inside. Everyone pops the pills
- Drug dealer returns with flamethrower in hand for "revenge"
- Cops arrive, party goers all want to keep partying, attack cops
- More cops, SWAT etc. arrive
- Eventually everything burns out
- They go back to high school, they're all LOVED. Parents are disappointed - protagonist has pissed away his college fund
- Long life female friend is still angry but they EMBRACE after protagonist says he wants to be with her, and her only on his next birthday

As I mentioned before, it's a great trip but something I could only watch once and something that makes me want to throw my own party too. The only thing I do hate about these kinds of movies is that usually unintelligent scum juvenile delinquents watch them and think that they would be bad ass and try to re-enact the events.

The movie really, really, really glorifies drug use as well as alcohol.

I did like it but I feel like if I was any older that I would hate it.

The movie does a great job at capturing a perfect snapshot of the youth of today

I don't think I'll give this movie a watch because the whole idea behind it is pretty stupid to me.

I already hate all the kids from the trailer.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?

Thanks for the impressions! But... was it actually funny? Sounds like your comments suggest it's surprisingly well made, but you don't mention if you laughed a bunch. The only way I'd be interested is if it's really hilarious.

Thanks!

Is it supposed to be funny? Not trying to be a snarky dickhead, genuinely curious

This is the movie that Redban was talking about on Rogan's podcast where the main guy used to be a bang bus porno dude.

Oh... maybe it's not? I've assumed it was, as the trailer really pushed the jokes and the fact that it's produced or w/e by the guy that did "The Hangover."

How the fuck does this movie get a 100 by New York Times?

It really depends. It's not a clever sense of humour. It's more of a "LOL LOOK AT THAT MIDGET PUNCHING PEOPLE" or "LOL A DOG IS TIED TO BALLOONS AND FLOATING AWAY".

I would consider it more of an experience and/or ride rather than a comedy. =/

Some moments made me chuckle quite a bit - but I would say that if you found The Hangover funny you would most definitely find this funny. It's that kind of dumb toilet humour >_>

BUT Project X is made hinged on a novelty (the "found footage" thing) and it surprisingly uses that quite well.

The trailer just looks like a documentary about white teenagers gyrating to music. I seriously could not spare a single fuck for that.

And now that I spoiled the plot, this is literally every single major R-rated teen flick since Porky's.

It's like if Joseph Campbell did "The Horny Teenager's Journey".
 
Fun movie. See it with a few friends. Great music.

But if you're an upright douche, who only comes to Gaf to bitch off about popular stuff. PROBABLY isn't for you.
 
went and saw this. um, yeah. the celluloid equivalent of a happy meal. very lightweight; mostly nothing, very idiotic and culiminated in a mess.

2/10
