Project X [2 Discs] [Includes Digital Copy] [UltraViolet] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2012]

Did you spend your entire high school career as someone with few friends who will more than likely be forgotten by the student body moments after graduating? What could you do to change that? Thomas (played by Thomas Mann) is turning seventeen and his parents are leaving town. His parents (played by relative unknowns Peter Mackenzie and Caitlin Dullany) fully expect him to throw a party in their absence and simply ask that it be kept under control. Still his friends Costa (played by Oliver Cooper) and JB (played by Jonathan Daniel Brown) believe that they can bring into being an epic gathering that will elevate their friend and themselves to legendary status simply through social networking and word of mouth. Unsure of what to expect, they encounter a former classmate who recently graduated and invite him only to discover he’s already planning to attend. And, every step of the way, Kirby (played by Kirby Bliss Blanton) is telling Thomas that Costa’s party is a bad idea. Kirby is apparently Thomas’s only female friend. Of course Blanton is quite attractive herself and while they’ve never been more than friends, Thomas entertains numerous fantasies regarding Alexis (another student played by Alexis Knapp) who has no idea he’s alive. The title is terribly unoriginal, but it was initially intended to be a placeholder until it started to generate interest. Whether that was in any way related to the 1968 science fiction film of the same name or the 1987 comedy-science fiction-thriller starring Matthew Broderick, I can’t say. I will say that I and many others in the theater laughed out loud numerous times throughout the film. Some have called this film irresponsible and said it sets a bad example to high school students. Then again, a film that sets a good example would probably depict a party where no alcohol or drugs are consumed, no cigarettes are smoked, and everyone returned home and went to bed at a decent hour after, of course, helping to clean up. Would ANYBODY see that? I wouldn’t. It’s not revolutionary and there are no profound life lessons but it is unmistakably a good time.

Its a movie about nerdy/ unpopular kids throwing a birthday party that gets out of control. Its entertaining and I would watch it again. some of the stuff that happens at the party you can't imagine really going on but still fun. you see the movie from the point of view of a kid shooting with his camera, but its not bad at all, none of that running around where its hard to see whats going on. and not the whole movie is from this point of view because at times I forgot or didn't notice that it was shot this way. worth watching.

I saw this movie through Netflix just wanting something to entertain me. This movie did not disappoint at all. The premise, while attempting to convince you of it's authenticity, is obviously stage but it gets you into the movie quickly and without much of a needed backstory. It is just one big party that gets bigger and bigger leading to rowdy, police crashing ending...and while that may seem like a spoiler, the parts in between the beginning and the end are worth watching and being amazed by.

After reluctantly seeing this movie for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised at how funny it was. With the second and third viewings, I picked up on more of the background jokes and it seemed to be funnier and funnier. The dizzying view of the hand held cameras gets to be less of a problem once you get into the story and the crazy shenanigans the characters are up to. Project X doesn't reinvent, the stoner flick, house party genre, but it does that type of movie proud.

i watched this movie on the big screen and this is my new all-time favorite movie. this movie is so out of control and fun you will wish that you were their with them. i can't tell you about this movie because theirs just so much that can't be described on here but i can tell you that you will never forget this movie.

Movie was great brought back old memories from high school when no cared about what anybody said and did their own thing and it may seem that some people despise this movie because they never been to a party that was almost this great, and just plain jealous that they never got experience anything like this in their lives. This movie is for the people who love to party like theres no tomorrow.

A great movie at a great price. Project X is a wild take on the movies that came before it. Superbad, American Pie, Animal House: they got nothing on the insanity of Project X. Definitely not for younger kids.

This movie remind me of high school days. Those epic drunk party. And part of the movie is in first person view, so you fell like you are right there with them
