To simply call this alleged comedy stupid is just a massively unforgivable understatement. Project X is unbelieveably moronic and revoltingly cruel and lacking in any traces of soul, heart or humour. It's... read more

How could i give this movie a 9 out of 10? Well because it succeeds in exactly what it tries to do and creates a classic high school party movie. From the very first scene it starts out funny and keeps going. This is essentially a movie about a giant party. And the party itself i... read more

This is a successful use of the found footage type of film making in so much as they do a really good job of letting the audience see everything. The downside is that it really turns into a mash up of music videos you would expect to see on some grunge bands website showing how c... read more

Another movie this year misusing the trite (and unnecessary) found footage gimmick edited from multiple cameras (even under the water!), which would have been impossible to obtain. But those looking for just pointless, forgettable fun are likely to be entertained.

March 18, 2012fb100000145236770"Project X" is a pretty original and simple movie. It's a handheld movie about the craziest high school party ever. That's the premise and storyline in a nutshell. The cast is all unknowns, which makes it feel very authentic. The laughs are spread throughout, and don't always... read more

You want a crazy party movie? Heres your crazy party movie! Ya know, I didn't think I would enjoy this movie when I first saw the trailer. But after watching it I must say that it was insane. Theres nothing nice or kindhearted about this movie, it just feels real. Though it reall... read more

March 14, 2012fb729949618This movie is insanity! From a critics standpoint it has many flaws, but to a normal viewing audience it provides lots of laughs and entertainment. The one thing that turned me off about this movie was the over-exaggeration of the partying. It went on, and on, and on, and on! It'... read more

I've seen 'Project X' twice now, and I still don't know what to make of it. This review is not totally accurate, because you're either going to like this movie or completely hate it. I seem to be caught in the middle. On one hand, i found it extremely entertaining, I laughed quit... read more

March 13, 2012fb100001050230219Pretty lame. One of the most disappointing comedies since The Hangover Part 2. All of the characters are unlikeable, especially Costa and they give us no reason to care about anything that's going on. The film really captures the feeling that you're witnessing 1500 idiotic kids d... read more

To be honest, its only for teenagers or people with an open mind. The music is awesome but only for a younger demographic. I won't go so far to say that the movie is good but ill say that its really entertaining with its beautiful woman and crazy stunts.
Critic Reviews
This is a film desperately in need of a McLovin. Also, jokes would help. And comedic chemistry between the actors. And an ending that isn't a bolted-on cop-out. Save yourselves. It's too late for me. Full Review
The movie has all the heft of a tweet, but Philips has made it look pimp and, until the police end the party, Project X really is a riot. Full Review
Ultimately, Project X is an example of why gimmicks rarely work, especially once the new shine has worn off. Full Review
"Project X" bears a cravenly piggish attitude toward rewarding socially unacceptable behavior that feels unseemly rather than exciting, so-what rather than so-funny and obvious instead of new. Full Review
"There's a midget in the oven!" is about as inspired as the dialogue and set pieces get in this queasy-making entertainment about a 17-year-old dude's birthday bacchanalia. Full Review
The parent and homeowner in me were appalled by the debauchery and incredible property damage. The teenage boy in me couldn't help but smirk anyway. Full Review
With its cast of unfamiliar faces and catalog of underage wish-fulfillment fantasies, this game-changing instant classic will doubtless inspire imitators. Full Review
As party porn goes, "Project X" has its moments. In terms of drama, character or intelligence, it's pure bong water. Full Review
It's a perfectly lame movie that speaks intriguingly to the way we live now. Full Review
