Project X (2012) 6/10

Starring : Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper, Jonathan Daniel Brown, Dax Flame
Director : Nima Nourizadeh
Running Time : 93 mins

It’s Thomas Kub’s (Mann) birthday, and in a vain attempt to become popular at his high school he decides, at the prompting of his close friends Costa (Cooper) and JB (Brown), to throw a party at his house while his parents are away, with their other friend Dax (Flame) chronicling the whole event on his camcorder. Things start well as more popular people than they expected arrive, but things soon go out of control…

This movie just wasn’t what I was expecting, and basically spends an hour playing music and showing people partying and flashing their tits, but in the last fifteen minutes things really get going as disaster follows disaster and Thomas realizes what a mistake the party really was. I did like that he realizes at the end that he could lose his real friends because of this party, and in spite of the slow pacing the end does in some ways make up for it.
