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

Alfie T One if not, My favorite movie that i've ever watched. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Larry K An absolute classic party movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Audience Member Projeto X proporciona uma aventura alucinante, mas não é nada que você já não tenha visto nos filmes adolescentes e isso acaba tornando a trama e seus personagens muito desinteressantes e nada atraentes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Audience Member The king of house party movies. They need to make one of these every 10 to 15 years. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Jonah K kinda gross. kinda sad. kinda underwhelming. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Liam J If the movie didn't recieve so much real life copycats I would say this movie would be unique enough to be on the Film Registry 2022. Yes we can blame this movie for the wild parties (coming from someone who is a party animal), but we should also take into account the news companies that profit off this kind of thing in real life. I believe there's going to be a time where this will make it on the film registry, just not an immediate entry such as the likes of The Wizard of Oz or Toy Story Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
