Leave your thoughts about Project X.
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe Oscars are swell, but once in a while a film comes along that is so courageous it deserves consideration for the Nobel Prize. An entire generation has been born and gone to college since the Beastie Boys defined that most basic of civil liberties: You've got to fight for your right to party. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezProject X is an astounding, superlative movie about adolescence - a brutal, unapologetic comedy about the fantasy every high school kid carries around in his head about being popular and cool and beloved. |
| HitFixDrew McWeeny'Project X' is a John Hughes movie from the '80s, right down to its final shot, but it's wrapped in a level of chaos and decadence that sums up the career of producer Todd Phillips with a gleeful degree of anarchy. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenIf this party were to take place in Damascus, Assad would run for his life. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA disappointing directing debut, this is a predictable genre item about a chaotic (what else?) party; too bad the gifted Phillips didn't exercise strong authority as producer. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongAs party porn goes, "Project X" has its moments. In terms of drama, character or intelligence, it's pure bong water. |
| MovieWebJulian RomanClever, brilliantly shot, and dropdown funny, Project X delivers the raunchy goods in spades. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekObviously aimed at the 'Superbad' crowd, but it's really just super bad in every sense. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonIt is not normal adolescent rebellion depicted here: it is sociopathic insurrection. It's an orgy of destruction that is meant to be cool... It's a celebration of colossal adolescent idiocy as something we should all aspire to... |
| Film.comWilliam GossPasadena, in case you were wondering, is where the meaning of the word "epic" goes to die. |
