It’s been touted as a “celebration of bad behavior,” “Superbad on crack.” Something more along the lines of “Superbad as directed by Ken Russell from a script by Harmony Korine” would be more accurate. Project X is a film with bstantially more depth than it’s trailers,Cheap Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys, and many reviews, would lead you to expect. In advertising their film as a cheapo teenage boobs and beer fest, the producers are really selling the whole thing short. Some of the biggest criticisms are that there is no story, no plot and no character development/arcs. This is simply not true To quote the brilliant Alexander Mackendrick, “A story’s plot is the sequential ordering of connected events and incidents that sustain the narrative momentum. But in the end,Cheap Super Bowl 50 Jerseys, when a good story is over,Cheap Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys, it is seldom the plot that sticks in our memory – it is the situations and the characters, and sometimes what we call the theme.” Situations, characters and theme are the strong points Project X.
But that shouldn’t suggest that there is no plot. The plot is simple. Couple of teens throw a party. Party becomes bigger than expected. Party gets out of hand. Party gets very much out of hand and the neighborhood pays dearly. Kind of like Titanic: Boat sets sail. Boat hits iceberg. Boat sinks. Who cares?At its heart Project X is a story about love, friendship (go ahead, laugh) and that strange, wondrous and chaotic time in our lives where we aren’t quite children and not quite adults. It’s about first times and loss of innocence. It’s about needing to mess up, in order to learn first hand from one’s young, dumb mistakes. It’s about rites of passage and wanting to be noticed. You don’t have to be a teenager to relate to that.

That there are “no character arcs” also lacks basis. Costa in particular seems to draw the most wrath from viewers. True he is obnoxious, crude and more than a little selfish but we very clearly see that, despite his incredible immaturity, he cares about his friends. “Wow, I can’t fix this. I’m sorry Thomas,Cheap Authentic Jerseys,” he says as he begins to realize just how out of hand things have gotten and that he has absolutely no control over the situation. The three friends also share a sweet moment, while high on ecstasy, with Costa acknowledging that he can be a real…jerk, and pologizing. Sort of like the “I love you” scene at the end of Superbad, but not as stagey.The most endearing aspect of Project X is the relationship between Thomas and gal- pal Kirby. Best friends since grade school but hesitant to take the friendship to another level. The interaction between these two characters is charming and sweet. It reveals Thomas’ genuine sensitivity,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, which makes him one of the most likable and sympathetic protagonists you wouldn’t expect to see in a film like this. Intro by XX is an effective theme song for the two.
The movie’s tone changes when a senseless act on Thomas’ part puts a strain on his and Kirby’s relationship. In what is probably the third montage, we see that things aren’t quite as fun(ny) anymore. The party-goers look wasted, tired, mad, dangerous. Thomas’ house is being destroyed. At around this point things get really crazy and the film becomes reminiscent of the prison riot in Natural Born Killers.The lame criticism that the film shows no consequences for the behavior on display is also hogwash. I won’t go into any detail as to the repercussions faced, but as Mr. Kub is keen to remind Thomas, after initially admitting that he’s impressed by the magnitude of the party, he’s still…in serious trouble. Though,Nike Browns #55 Alex Mack Black 2016 Pro Bowl Mens Stitched NFL Elite Jersey, not exactly in those words.Whether or not the producers, director, or writers are aware of what they’ve made here, it’s sad that Project X has been tossed aside and spat on by critics and some viewers,Nike Bengals #77 Andrew Whitworth White Mens Stitched NFL Elite Jersey, and that even people who think positive of it seem to only take it at face value. It’s certainly not the “unoriginal, unfunny 87 minutes of predictable mean-spirited debauchery” that the uptight fossils say it is. Of course,Cheap New York Mets Jerseys, taking to heart the opinions of a bunch of overpaid hack writers whose appreciation of cinema is probably akin to a 9 year old’s interest in pwetty colors in a Van Gogh, would be your first mistake.
Project X doesn’t play it safe. It takes risks. In a genre as trite and tortuously redundant as the teen sex comedy or even adult comedies in general, Project X is fresh and even touching. Unabashedly high-concept, yet oddly low key and nuanced. It also features what is possibly the most spot-on realistic party footage you’ll ever see in a fiction film.
