Thomas (Thomas Mann), Costa (Oliver Cooper) and JB (Jonathan Daniel Brown) are three anonymous high-school seniors who are determined to finally make their mark. But how to make themselves unforgettable in the annals of high-school history? With an epic party, of course! The idea is innocent enough, but nothing could prepare the three friends for this shindig. As word of the soiree's awesomeness spreads, dreams are ruined, records are blemished, and legends are born.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Unoriginal, unfunny, and all-around unattractive, Project X mines the depths of the teen movie and found-footage genres for 87 minutes of predictably mean-spirited debauchery.

Tim Grierson Gawker None of these people resembles any teen anybody really knows. And thank god for that. Apr 11, 2012 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times An unhealthy strain of misogyny runs through the dialogue, and the film- makers' unquestioning acceptance of high-school one-upmanship fairly turns the stomach. Rated: 2/5 Mar 19, 2012 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com It is a failed attempt to analyze what it means to rebel in the twenty-first century, and as such ends up being a party, not for the ages or the record books, but instead for the dustbin of rancid ideas and concepts better left forgotten. Rated: 1/4 Mar 17, 2012 Full Review Iván Kazi EscribiendoCine Putting a twist on the ordinary, Project X also introduces promising new faces of teen comedy. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Jun 14, 2023 Full Review Popmatters Staff PopMatters However shallow and lazy the execution is, Project X remains compelling by heralding the manic and voyeuristic instincts of a young man who is suddenly carefree. Dec 3, 2022 Full Review Cory Woodroof 615 Film This movie trying to be a knockoff of Superbad is exactly the point. Aug 30, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
