Just perfect...
A lot of fun.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I will never understand how excellent films like this get a score of 5 or 6. They are the best and, even if I tried, i wouldn't be able of finding anything wrong about them. So then, why do these films get a regular score instead of an excellent one like they deserve It? Maybe it's because it's related to teen parties and oldies don't like that. I don't know, that's the only explanation I can think of. Maybe because it has a sex scene and some parents don't like that? I seriously have no clue at all. Are they jealous? Seriously, I DON'T UNDERSTAND. It's a fast film, It has occasional and well-fit comedy, It has a very interesting time paradox that's like a mindf***, It includes three great stars who you can be related with, It has moments where you can see how fu**** is the human in one very particular scene. IT HAS EVERYTHING! This is excellence for me. I'll never understand how AWESOME movies like this pass by so fast and get so underrated. It's not in the Top 10 best films i've seen but It's excellent and deserves such a better score than that one. Anyway, this will remain as another one of the many mysteries that there are in life. 10/10.
If you expect your average teen party gone wrong movie, then you are in for a surprise (and a pleasant one in my opinion).Although the movie borrows forms and cinematic elements from horror sci-fi movies, it goes way beyond that. Yes you will find here the hot male and female protagonists, the funny ones that act as a tension release. But what is interesting is that "Plus One" characters are not just some beautiful people screaming for their lives (going always to the wrong direction).The people involved are complicated forced to deal with them selves and the choices they make in life.To me the movie is more of an allegoric tale about growing up, maturing, evolving, packed in a film genre that most of the time has nothing but chills to offer. It is rarely that after a horror movie you are left thinking and this is one of those cases. Whether viewers will appreciate this or not remains to be seen. Hopefully they will.
Time Travel is a kinda tricky thing to deal with in movies. No matter how well its made there is bound to be plot holes in the movie. An exception being Primer which was so inexplicably detailed that it ended up indigestible for many and entertaining for only a few. Another recent example which barely makes it to the list would be Looper, once again not without flaws but the movie itself addressed the issues of time travel and thereby negating some that it could have had. The point being few movies can nail it and the best is already out there: Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future Trilogy, GroundHog Day and TimeBandits.If you are not gulled into thinking this is a sequel to the Google pwned The Internship, +1, comes from Dennis Iliadis, the director of The Last House on the Left (the 2009 one, which I found amusing) is not essentially a time travel movie but a genre mash up. Its a mix of college party movie, a romance drama and sci-fi. To put it light this could have been Project X-meets-Groundhog Day-meets-Body Snatchers. Its got some amazing ideas which rivets you in the first and second act though fails miserably to do so towards the 3rd act. It was very intriguing for me at first, the characters were straight out of a sex comedy movie and a few minutes into the movie the weird starts creeping in. Blatant use of nudity distracts you away from the core premise nonetheless you will be left with a lot of questions towards the end. The ending itself felt rushed and could have been way way better.+1 is the perfect example of a brilliant concept tampered via flawed execution. Anybody who's seen this movie can't possibly deny that its got some nifty ideas but it all tumbles down the hill due to lazy and amateur performances, inconsistent pacing and gaping plot holes. I felt the party itself wasn't wild enough, thank the onionskin budget. Performances from Rhys Wakefield, Logan Miller and the supporting cast felt all but appreciable. I was counting on Rhys, having seen his performance from The Purge but instead I felt it was very amateur here. And I frankly thought I'd seen the last of Ashely Hinshaw, after her asinine histrionics from About Cherry. The only scantily commendable performance comes from Pretty Little Liar's Natalie Hall along with gratuitous nudity.Loads and loads of flaws and some unexplained sequences makes an otherwise novel movie just barely watchable. It could have been a good modern day Groundhog Day but its flaws overburdens whatever goodness it has. Watch +1 and bear with it for its amusing take on time travel and its middling twists. Whether it earns a cult status is yet to be seen.
