The Worst Film Ever
Strong and Moving!
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Nothing too much to say about the content of the movie really. Giving that nothing really happened? Perhaps it's not fair to give such a harsh comment, but the whole movie really is just about throwing a party for a not so popular high school kid and how sick it was and as you can expect... it went out of control. That being said, the best part is perhaps the dog jumping in the bouncy castle for me.
There truly are no words to describe this movie. Project X is something that is just so wild and crazy, that it is entertaining, but it's also just soo crude and wildly inappropriate that it's like ehhhh.... I mean in the beginning, the three starring boys are pretty misogynistic and homophobic, especially Costa. That I definitely did not appreciate, and would've preferred that that aspect of the film would've just been cut out. I will say that I liked Thomas Mann, and I thought he did well in the leading role. I thought the nude teenage girls was a bit over the top, I mean seriously, we don't gotta see all that.... Don't have a problem with the language, or some of the sexual content, I realize that's a given with a movie like this, but seeing sequences of teen boobs?? No thanks.... I liked Kirby and Thomas's connection and on screen romance, I thought that was sweet and refreshing to see amongst all the chaos. I didn't like how Thomas was the only one actually convicted of crimes, and Costa, the one who was actually responsible, got off on no charges whatsoever, but idk if he actually had to do time or not, I just really liked Thomas's character, he's a sweet nice boy that just made a mistake and because of others actions, the situation got out of control. So overall, Project X is somewhat entertaining, but often times too crude, 7/10 is more than fair.
It'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.
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.
