"Project X" was released in 2012 and was directed by Nima Nourizadeh and produced by Todd Phillips (Old School, The Hangover). It's a voyeur style film that follows three friends as they attempt to host the most epic high school party ever. Inevitably, the party spirals out of control in this crazy and wacky documentary style film.
First off, I did enjoy this film. Is it the greatest movie ever made? Not even close but overall it was entertaining. It was just as the trailers said, "it's like Superbad and The Hangover had a baby". It had the tone of Superbad and the craziness and unpredictability of The Hangover. You never know what is going to happen next.
I'll be honest. Story-wise, this movie wasn't very successful. You wont care too deeply about any of the characters and each relationship isn't fully developed. But I can almost guarantee that you will laugh and that you will have a great time watching this.
Oliver Cooper, the guy who played "Costa", was a standout. Reminded me of a younger and funnier Seth Rogen. Keep your eye's out for this guy in years to come.
"Project X" was not Citizen Kane or The Godfather. Nor is it trying to be. Many will be harsh on this film but I say, just enjoy it for what it is. Go out and see it. It's a great movie to see with your friends or (like me) your girlfriend. Let me know what you think. Till next time.
