A good movie

When I first heard of this movie, I thought it was a really neat concept but I was pretty sure they would really mess it up, giving us another lame supposedly edgy/sexy comedy. However, since I kept hearing some pretty good things about the damned thing, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, I have to admit that they actually really nailed it. Indeed, they promised us a wild party and that’s exactly what they gave us. Seriously, if you have ever enjoyed or dreamed about going to something huge like this, you will certainly have a blast watching this. Of course, the parties I have been to never were so massive and some stuff displayed in this movie was slightly over-the-top, but, the great thing is that it was just slightly over-the-top and most of it was highly possible and completely recognizable. Indeed, that’s what a party should look like and, once in your lifetime, you should try to achieve something like this. On top of that, the found-footage approach, a terribly overused gimmick in the horror genre, was just perfect here. Obviously, there were still a few elements that didn’t really work. For example, the main character was complaining way too long about the fact that the party was too big. Furthermore, the whole romantic triangle involving the main character, his childhood crush and the hottest girl from his school was seriously generic and predictable. Finally, the scene towards the end with the guy with the flame-thrower didn’t belong in this movie at all and barely worked at all. Still, in spite of its flaws, I thought it was a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
