Waste of Money.
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Cole Carter (Zac Efron) is a part time DJ who work on parties with his group of friends. By day they make money by working for a real estate hustler.Cole encounters a once legendary DJ, James Reed (Wes Bentley.) They share a joint, passion for dance music and Reed gets Cole some gigs. Cole also falls for Reeds girlfriend.The best thing about the film is Cole explaining the basics of being a DJ and how to get a crowd to move at a dance party. The worse thing about the movie is the clichéd story. Also making electronic dance music on screen memorable is rather difficult when it is music that you are meant to dance to.Still Efron gives a bright performance.
Being someone who has fiddled with music production and DJing, everyone was asking if I was going to see this movie. I never actually saw it in theaters and saw it on HBO. I had heard that it had received some mixed reviews so that kept me away from it but after seeing it I really enjoyed the movie. I thought the beginning was great and Zac Efron really nailed his character, as well as his friend group. The music was suburb throughout the entire movie, definitely the best part of the movie. The middle kinda got lost in the plot and leading up to the death of squirrel it felt like the movie itself was lost. But after his death I thought the movie picked back up and the ending in my opinion was really good. I gave it a 7 out of 10 because it really caught my attention for a Saturday afternoon flick, but I fell it is definitely worth the watch if you have the time
***My review doesn't mention REAL spoilers, I just didn't want to upset anyone.*** I went into this movie with a closed minded view of the EDM culture, from my own personal experiences,and I was extremely surprised. It wasn't just about the sex, drugs, and EDM. It was about the climb! The movie made me rethink my own life style. With Zac Efrons character, I know so many people could relate to the struggles and the hustle of everyday life and just making it. I think the movie really gives a whole-hearted experience to the viewer. Everyone goes through conflicts with friends but when you are trying to climb the ladder of success sometimes we can't relate to the struggles of our friends. This was definitely one of the movies that I sat back and watched. Wanting more in the end. The cast was perfect for their roles and I wish it would of grossed more in the box office, but truthfully I never even saw a trailer. I would definitely put this in my top 10 just for the soundtrack alone. Next to Trainspotting and 1999 Human Traffic. Because they are all about a group of friends, causing mischief and mayhem but in the end staying together for better or for worse.
Came into this movie with zero expectations; barely knowing what it was about and came out very pleasantly surprised.This is a California Valley "lost youth" movie with the DJ scene and LA's bright lights as a background. Its strength is to focus on a tight, well rounded group of characters and all the actors, including Effron, deliver good to strong performances.The end is particularly good. Without spoiling it makes you go through the emotional roller-coaster very well. If you have any passing interest in Cali, DJs... or Emilia Ratajkowski who's just beautiful as usual, this is a good movie!
