Screening Suggestions

Picture
So, if you were able to make it past this title being placed in my Screening Suggestions category, perhaps you came to find out just what it is I see in this movie that, admittedly, isn't what one would call a "good movie" let alone a "great movie". This is, however, a total guilty pleasure. It's not out to win Oscars, it's just out to invite you to be a fly on the wall of the single, not greatest, but certainly craziest party ever thrown.

The plot? Three unpopular high school friends who decide to throw a legendary party to make a name for themselves at their school. Said party gets out of hand to a ridiculous extent, and the film is essentially found footage from the party.

The kids in question are, indeed, a set of odd main characters. You've got Thomas (Thomas Mann), our main character who plays host to way too many people. Costa (Oliver Cooper), who, admittedly, I don't like much, though he's got a few funny lines. And then we have my personal favorite of the group, JB (Jonathan Daniel Brown) who believes himself to be a know-it-all about what makes women tick, and portrays the lovable loser of the bunch. Most people who view this movie seem to give it negativity based on not caring about these characters throughout the film. And that's all well and good and understandable, but I just see it from a different perspective. These guys ARE losers who you don't care about, that's the whole reason they're throwing this massive party, so they can make their mark. Perhaps there's just a bit of me leftover from my high school days that can relate to their situation.

Anyway, I'm not recommending this for much more than what I enjoy it as. I can't explain it much better than hey, this is the party of the century, you're invited, come and have some fun. Now, with that said, I really should forewarn onlookers that there's some uncomfortable stuff going on through this movie from time to time. Let's just say that animals and people were all monitored in a controlled environment, as it was pretty much necessary from all angles.

I would almost consider this movie to be an outlet for those of us who weren't looked upon too fondly in high school. This is our chance to be a part of one of those amazing parties we've heard so much about, and it happens to be the craziest time ever had. There's even a cameo from Miles Teller. This was when he was still best known for his roles in movies like 2011's 'Footloose', and 'Rabbit Hole', so it's an interesting one to look back on nowadays.

In closing, this movie plain and simply will not be for everyone. In fact, according to most reviews, it's not for most. But the select few of us who can see maybe just a little bit of ourselves in one of these three guys (mostly JB for myself) might find a hidden gem in this found footage of a night gone far too out of hand.
