Is remarkably sad to see that nowadays society believes that their happiness depends on their popularity. The three main characters of this movie end up ruining their lives despite that the movie implies that popularity and status is more important.

The shenanigans of the teens at times made me smile, and even that was rare, but let's face it, Project X is more of a failed reality show pilot than a film.

Many argue that the movie isn't about it's story or characters but about a supposedly "Epic" Party. Now first let me say: I was young once too and surely did some stuff I am not exactly proud of. And that is the point ! They may be funnyMany argue that the movie isn't about it's story or characters but about a supposedly "Epic" Party. Now first let me say: I was young once too and surely did some stuff I am not exactly proud of. And that is the point ! They may be funny stories but you are sure as heck not proud of them aside from a few exceptions maybe! This movie glorifies partying to such ridicoulous proportions that all of the people in the movie seem like complete morons and frankly just loathsome people. The entire thing is based around tree highschoolers no less, of which one "Costa" might just be one of the most annoying douchebags you've ever seen on film. This film is not how any "Epic" Party would be but how 14 year old kiddies imagine it: No limits, no consequences, no realism.
Usually there is a point though where reality comes crashing in but not in this movie. I mean stuff happens but the film just ends and the three kiddos get "popular" without any repercussions.
Why is that such an important deal in the first place? High School is over in a blink and then what are they going to do with their popularity? Work at Burger King? It's quite embarassing to watch really. Like when you overhear some kiddies arguing who drank the most beer last night fighting about it like it's actually a title worth having. Or when some teenager calls his friend a **** because he won't drink or stops drinking.
Aside from that the movie objectifies women of course where the only purpose they have is to show their boobs and be sex-slaves to the men they all so much desire !
One unintentionally frightening scene is when the police arrives and people start throwing bottles and it's like they are becoming a mob, a collective mind of douchebags not thinking about their actions! The movie makes it look like it's actually a cool thing. Right to Party my ass. You have every right to Party as long as you are not a selfish prick who puts his juvenile desires above any one elses. I almost burned your house down? Oh well, right to party I guess. Pretty Epic... right...… Expand

What I mean by that is that while you are watching this, due to the badly fleshed out characters, lacking story development, and the overall style of the movie... you feel like your a third wheel watching it, it feels as if you are watching a bunch of OTHER people have fun and your just sadly stuck in your theatre seat. What else does it do wrong? It's just not funny, aside from two parts, the jokes are just for shock value with no build up OR punch line, so it feels like a very bad episode of Tosh.0 without the clever commentary. Also, the characters are both unbelievable and unlikable, especially the main character's best friend in the movie. Some may say though that at least its entertaining.. but how? At first in the movie, it does sort of lift the mood by its loud pump music and outrageous party footage, but the movie followed this formula too much to the tee. The movie was 10 minutes of party montage with loud music and 4minutes of irrelevant dialogue; repeat. The Good: There is None. The Bad: The movie fails at connecting to the audience, lacks funny jokes, and unbelievable and unlikable characters. So why get the 1? Despite all the "hating" upon this movie, it does serve a good purpose. This would be a perfect movie to play in the background of a drinking party, just make sure your party goers are hammered, cause thats the only audience this movie should attract.… Expand

So three complete morons through a "party", which apparently in some suburban neighborhoods is roughly equivalent to a barbarian raiding. In the process of "partying" they destroy one their parent's houses, part of their neighborhood, started several dozen fires, destroyed their car, and likely killed one or more people. In the end, one ends up riding the "short bus" to school after being declared "mentally deficient" to avoid prosecution, one had nothing happen to him but has several paternity suits filed against him, and one got a few months. The one with several paternity suits brags about "his next 'party'" on national television. So the moral of the story: destroy, rape, pillage, murder, no one else's lives matter, so long as you have fun and in the end everything will be okay. Ultimately, the only way this vaunt through sociopathy could have been construed as a comedy would have been if it ended in a Tarantino-style battle royal which left everyone of the psychotic main characters laying dead in a pool of their own blood. That didn't happen, this wasn't funny.… Expand

It takes "you had to be there" to a whole new level. There is nothing fun about watching people you don't know have fun, and this movie is simply 88 minutes of that. This movie also contains the most un-likable protagonists in recent memory. Thomas is a complete coward who is pushed around by his disgusting, obnoxious, loser "friend" Costa. They both hang out with J.B. who is only there so Costa can constantly insult him about his weight and are followed around by Dax,, who records the party on his camera. The entire dialogue consists mostly of Costa talking about how "epic" the party is and how popular it will make them. Every "joke" is signaled by Costa yelling "What the **** is that!?!" or "What the **** are you doing?!" It's almost as if they asked a 14 year old to write what they think a party is like. A little person punching kids in the groin is about as sophisticated as the humor in this movie gets. To me, the most insulting part was how they completely villainize anyone who wants to shut down their party. Absolute garbage.… Expand

Never before have I seen such an affront to common decency and traditional values as in Project X. This so called "film" has no plot, and just shows kids as young as seventeen using foul language, drinking, and smoking pot. At one point, they use some kind of designer drug called "ecstasy." Several teenage girls bare their breasts, and premarital sexual relations are strongly implied. Actually no. My entire reaction to Project X was, "This is lame, man. Really lame." If only this film were an affront to decency. I wish it were offensive. If only it were the slightest bit funny. There's no real story. Once you've seen five minutes of it, you've seen all it has to offer. It isn't half as wild and crazy as it pretends to be. In a movie where racy content is the attraction, there's more implied than shown. The characters are one dimensional at best, and frankly, the actors are uniformly amateurish.

Teen films have the gift of pushing absurdity to the limit, and this film is perfect for exemplifying it. Presenting itself as a "found footage", it shows how a college birthday party, initially thought for some friends, gets out of controlTeen films have the gift of pushing absurdity to the limit, and this film is perfect for exemplifying it. Presenting itself as a "found footage", it shows how a college birthday party, initially thought for some friends, gets out of control when it is massively advertised, taking almost two thousand young people thirsty for alcohol, noise and sex to a suburban house, where adults are conveniently absent. What follows is, pure and simple, all sorts of crazy things that can be imagined at a party, and a trail of destruction and chaos that seems to worry no one.

I think I have already shown, by other reviews that I have written, that I am not a fan of this kind of film and I think that they have nothing artistic or comic. This film broke all, or almost all, of the stupidity records by making the case for madness and drunkenness. But the worst of all was to see, in the ending, with the neighborhood half burned and that house totally destroyed, the face of that father who, while pulling his own car out of a pool, proved to be unable to give his son a real lesson, showing even a hint of pride! Pride in what? That brat gathered a crowd of Huns, they destroyed the house, all the houses around, everything! That father will live the rest of his life stuck in debts, will see his son plunged in lawsuits, surely happy to not be arrested for years, as he deserved! Pride in what? If a son of mine did a finger of what that idiot kid did, I would make him work hard to pay the losses and ground him until the next century! Education starts at home, with rules and limits. And this film is the glorification of the absence of limits. Then the teenagers start to find all of this very cool and to imitate it... don't say it isn't true.

The film is just bad, sad and depressing. It's not funny, it exudes amateurism from every pore and is simply stupid in its essence. In addition, and from everything I've said about how wrong the concept of this film is, it's all highly unbelievable. You can't believe that more than a thousand people drank and used drugs without thinking about what was happening around them. Someone would have stopped all that madness because teenagers are not all like that and there are many who prefer to abstain from excesses. And it is not possible to believe that, in the whole neighborhood, only one neighbor would revolt with all that, or that the police would be so lenient. It is simply too fake and artificial to be credible. And it may not be worth talking about the cliché characters, made up of one-dimensional stereotypes, and the cast of amateurs, made up of the worst students in drama schools.

Excessive, unbelievable, brutally stupid and painfully artificial, this film is of no use. It will only serve for teenagers to try to imitate, on a very small scale. Therefore, all copies of the film should simply be burned.… Expand
