Super Frat

Project X is fine entertainment that Super Frat fans should all greatly appreciate.  Anything that flips between titties, explosions and music this frequently can’t help but be entertaining.  But it’s not really “movie entertaining” it’s more like watching a building collapse or going to a strip club entertaining.  The plot is an excuse for the titties, explosion and music, not the other way around.

The premise we’ve seen a hundred times.  Thomas is having a birthday and his two friends, Costa and J.B. want to throw a big party while Thomas’s parents go out of town.  Costa and J.B. go so overboard promoting the thing that the party snowballs out of control during the course of the movie.  There is the standard love interest subplot, which is thankfully threadbare.  (We all know what’s going to happen, why dwell on it?)  The footage is taken by one of the characters, a Goth named Dax, who is hired to video the entire thing in a Cloverfield-like fashion.  Unlike Cloverfield, however, the camera doesn’t constantly shake and Director Nima Nourizadeh’s direction is pretty smooth.

It’s the perfect movie to see shit-faced with your rowdier bros or (when on DVD) to have playing in the background of an actual party.  The movie itself is a lot like being at a party you won’t have to clean up or take responsibility for.  Smuggle in some beers and go see Project X.  I give it 5 out of 10 keggers as a movie, 9 out of 10 keggers for sheer entertainment value, which I guess is really a 7.  Fuck it.  Go see it.  I guarantee the bros of Super Frat will.
