Thomas (Thomas Mann), Costa (Oliver Cooper) and JB (Jonathan Daniel Brown) are three anonymous high-school seniors who are determined to finally make their mark. But how to make themselves unforgettable in the annals of high-school history? With an epic party, of course! The idea is innocent enough, but nothing could prepare the three friends for this shindig. As word of the soirée's awesomeness spreads, dreams are ruined, records are blemished, and legends are born.

Critics Consensus

Unoriginal, unfunny, and all-around unattractive, Project X mines the depths of the teen movie and found-footage genres for 87 minutes of predictably mean-spirited debauchery.

None of these people resembles any teen anybody really knows. And thank god for that.

2/5

An unhealthy strain of misogyny runs through the dialogue, and the film- makers' unquestioning acceptance of high-school one-upmanship fairly turns the stomach.

1/4

It is a failed attempt to analyze what it means to rebel in the twenty-first century, and as such ends up being a party, not for the ages or the record books, but instead for the dustbin of rancid ideas and concepts better left forgotten.

However shallow and lazy the execution is, Project X remains compelling by heralding the manic and voyeuristic instincts of a young man who is suddenly carefree.

This movie trying to be a knockoff of Superbad is exactly the point.

Hard to believe now, but there was a time when insurance companies like AMI were cool and the House of Pain meant something very different to Otago rugby.

When a movie has ratings all over from 0 to 100%, something's up. Personally, loved it, but it requires "willful suspension of common sense"! :-)

The truth is that the movie made me laugh too much (The follies, etc). Although I think the truth was very crazy, it worked well.

Oh no.... This is absolute trash.

The fun Nima drawing that became a popular icon until a few years ago, "Project X" is a game widely used in horror and suspense movies, Found Footage, and associates a hilarious script. bobo and politically incorrect added to the funny hits to close a recipe of a mega film fun, Oliver Cooper is long and long, has defects, is true, like errors of continuism and even problems with the Found Footage, but even so, humor face old guard, with the absurd situations that border the best that the grifa began of years 2000.
