It is hard to rate this movie on the basis that it doesn't really have a category I can put it in. It feels like Tom Hank's "The Bachelor Party", but without the humour or character development, just the party. From the very start the producing company is apologizing for the trouble the party has caused to the neighbourhood and the ending of the movie tells about what happened with each character, so it is either made to look like this or it is based on real events. If that is true, it pretty much means some highschool guys threw a party, got out of control then Hollywood made a movie out of it.
Now, the movie is not bad. It nicely portrayed the three guys and the debauchery at the party, all through a hand held cam, but one that thankfully didn't shake all the time. The problem with all this is that in a few words one can tell the entire story of the film, which is pretty much the same story you get from the trailer, so the only thing you might enjoy is the actual details.
So basically I can say that I didn't mind the film, but it is a completely forgettable experience. Had I have been in highschool I might have understood a thing or two about popularity, but probably the wrong thing. At the end the movie can help but glorify the entire endeavour, which is both good and bad. The moral being that being too uptight about it is not better than getting out of control.
