With spring break coming up, students across campus are getting antsy. School is getting tiresome, the weather is getting nice and frankly, everyone needs a break.
It’s time to do something fun with your life, and if you need an idea, here is one that only takes two words to explain: “Project X.”
If you haven’t heard, this documentary-style movie is basically a raunchy, raucous-filled comedy of three high-school wannabes who are determined to throw the biggest birthday bash of all time.
The movie takes place in Pasadena, where high-school senior Thomas (Thomas Mann) is turning 17, and his loudmouth friend Costa (Oliver Cooper) wants to throw him a party while his parents are out of town.
Thomas reluctantly agrees, and he, Costa and their hilarious friend J.B. (Jonathan Daniel Brown) go out to get the party ready.
Thomas tells Costa to keep it small, but Costa doesn’t see eye-to-eye with that and ends up inviting basically the whole high school.
The whole movie from beginning to end is being filmed by the boys’ friend Dax (Dax Flame) and makes the film seem a little bit more realistic than a party of this proportion would seem.
Dax seems to get every little snippet of trouble the boys run into over the day, and each time the trouble grows and the humor grows with it.
The whole point of having the party, according to Costa, was to “get the girls we could never get” and to be a “game changer” for parties in the future.
Over the night, as the party just seems to get bigger and bigger, and Thomas, a “loser” according to his dad, feels like a loser no more.
As the party grows out of control, the movie just gets crazier and even more hilarious. J.B. has some great one-liners, Costa acts like the loudmouth that we knew he was and Thomas is a superstar whether he wants to be or not.
Combining these three characters, who seem like they are the cast of “Superbad” with a little role-reversal, along with the epic “Hangover”-like proportions of what is going on inside and outside Thomas’ house makes for one of the best party movies of all time.
“Project X” is one of those movies that college students will really love, but I wouldn’t advise bringing Grandma with you.
The movie brings music to our ears when it comes to the type of humor that fills the hallways and classrooms around campus.
If you find yourself sitting around during spring break this year, whether that is on vacation or at home, I recommend you go see “Project X” and have the laugh of your life.
Except don’t be like all those high school punks that were in the theater with me and say you are going to have a party like that. We all know you aren’t.
