Project X - 派對X計劃
Project X (派對X計劃) is an 2012 film. The movie Thomas Mann and Oliver Cooper. The supporting cast include Jonathan Daniel Brown, Kirby Bliss Blanton, and Alexis Knapp. The movie uses a mix of found footage style to tell the story.
Thomas Mann and Jonathan Daniel Brown play Thomas Kub and Costa. Kub's birthday is coming and his parents are heading out for the weekend. Costa is dead set to be popular and sets out to throw his boy Kub the ultimate birthday party. The build up starts with their friend JB filming them. We see Costa convincing Kub to throw the party when his parents are out. Costa than pimps the party to anyone within shouting range of him. Even at the supermarket, everywhere. Kub only wants the party in the backyard and security is hired. As day becomes night, no one shows for the party. But suddenly, the whole town of Pasadena descend on the Kub residence. The party grows and grows, becoming so epic that its "news" worldwide.
This movie was quite hard to watch. I didn't grow up in simi-nearby Pasadena so I can't say for certain how things are there. But people of SoCal goto Pasadena to shop and eat, its an destination town even though its inland from the beach. The party itself was unbelievable. The things people do to get to their party on was quite exaggerated. The complete lack of respect for property is hard to watch. I will not be a repeat watcher. Prolly has something to do with my age.
