Project X **½

Nima Nourizadeh directed this Comedy.  Watch Preview. Cast: Kirby Bliss Blanton, Jonathan Daniel Brown, Oliver Cooper, Alexis Knapp, Thomas Mann, Miles Teller. Rated R for crude and sexual content throughout, nudity, drugs, drinking, pervasive language, reckless behavior and mayhem - all involving teens. Running time is one hour and twenty-eight minutes.

Three seemingly anonymous high school seniors (Mann, Cooper, Brown) attempt to finally make a name for themselves. Their idea is innocent enough: throw a party that no one will forget... but nothing could prepare them for this party.

It's really hard to predict what someone will think about this film Social conservatives will be appalled while Social liberals will be sorry they missed the party. I wasn't offended and found it sporadically funny but if you're concerned, check out the MPAA rating at the top. It pretty much covers what you can expect to see. The picture uses the "found footage" concept; what you see has supposedly been videotaped by one of the students. That concept is carried out well and the basically unknown cast does a good job of appearing to be who the movie says they are. Pacing is good and the film never bogs down. This isn't the best picture for teens but something tells me they're already well aware of  what happens at parties like this.

There are no additional scenes once the final credits start. You will probably enjoy this  most if you're sitting with a large audience so  I'd go for a large auditorium if possible. Theatres/Times.
