Project X - 16th October 2012

Tuesday Night is Film Night branches out this week and tries a recent movie, from 2012 in fact. Tonight we see what is in store for;

Project X

So what is Project X? It's a film that follows the exploits of a group of teens who attempt to throw the most epic teenage birthday party ever.

And do they succeed? Probably.

The film is 88 minutes long. I will never get those 88 minutes back, they are gone, forever. You can't go back.

I'm not even going to list the actors or the characters, please help yourself to IMDB to check the details.

A couple of points. It is an 18, there is a lot of swearing. I'm not prudish, but it's totally unnecessary. Secondly, the majority of the camera work is handheld, which is the crux of the film, I guess, as the party is being filmed by one of the characters. The upshot is, the framing is constantly moving and it can be tricky to see what is going on. Which for the most of the time is drunken carnage.

This is clearly a young persons film. If you are a young person, embrace it. If you're an old person, avoid it.

The highlights of the film, were the funny bits. There are just a few. The best of which, I'm sorry to say, was the midget in the oven!

Enjoy!
