Project X

Project X was the movie I went to see this week. This is the most hyped movie I have seen in a while. The commercials have been comparing this movie to The Hangover, and Superbad. I would have to say that it was a great movie, and I would like to see it again. I would recommend it to all of you but in no way is it as good as the hangover, or Superbad. I can see the comparisons to Superbad, 3 high school losers, trying to make a name for themselves, hookup with hot girls, and become popular. The movie is about these 3 kids and there one opportunity to throw a party that will be a game changer to their social status at their high school. The movie is exactly what you expect it is going to be, which is the craziest party you have ever seen.

            One thing I thought the director did a good job with was building up characters from the beginning of the movie and tying them into the movie in later scenes. Going into this movie you need to expect the unexpected. One thing that I think separated the movie and made it unique was the filming style. The movie is shot as a documentary, which gives it a more authentic feeling. They made the movie feel realistic in the sense that they showed real media clips talking about the party, like Jimmy Kimmel, as well as stating that the events that occur are a true story in the beginning of the movie.(even though we know that its fake)

            The way back from the movie was an adventure on its own. I was driving this girls car that my roommate and I borrowed which was a POS Toyota. When we left the theatre we could see it had been snowing, the roads were bad and it was sketchy enough in this 2 wheel drive 4 cylinder Toyota. Once we got on the highway is when things got bad, the windshield wipers seemed to work everywhere but right in front of the driver’s side. Snow was covering the highway completely to the point where you could not see pavement. After getting passed by a few 18 wheelers and listening to my roommate cry the whole ride back, we eventually made it back safely, thank god cause I can’t even afford to fix my car right now, never mind someone else’s.
