Project X

Was it a game changer? Yes. Is it anything crazy? No, I fear not. But hey, cannot hate the playa, got to hate the game. I love found footage, horror and comedy alike it is such a human way to tell a story. Dax Flame has kept up this persona for decades, at this point he is either a method actor or that is who he is. This movie is a relic of it's time and that is ok, but it is not getting a 5 from me. It feels like it was very desperate to copy other teen comedies at the time, such as Superbad. This is not technically a bad thing, however, when you attempt to follow something too closely your own individuality will flounder. It did have funny lines but the cinematography did confuse me, or lack of cinematography. I could not tell who was filming in certain moments since this is found footage, that may be my bad but I never felt it was explained it just moved on. I understand it was dark humor but maybe some should consider some of the jokes were just not funny. I like the classic concept, losers becoming legends. The absurdity of the second half upped it for sure, it transformed from just another party to PROJECT X! The end was specifically my favorite part because of the different endings each character got. Of course an absurd end would end with realistic endings. Overall, classic movie, not my fav but what do I know I am just the one with the movie site. #bringbackmilesteller2026
