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

Chris W Don’t listen to the stuck up critics. If you want a laugh, check the movie out. A bunch of teens having a house party that gets a little out of control. We’ve all been there right? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review Audience Member this movie has been one of the best i’ve watched in a while. Yes the main character (thomas) doesn’t get told off and has lead to copy cats i definitely do suggest watching as its one of my all time favs 😜 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Audience Member Every critic above can kiss my ass. They have no idea what real movies are and what real original movies are. They are probably the same losers who think the new star was is 5/5 stars. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Trey G A classic one of my high school favorites Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Dahiana M Esta película es un caos del que game gustaría formar parte. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Tonka T Very weak storyline, doesn't even pass the lamp test. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
