Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
"There's a midget in the oven!" is about as inspired as the dialogue and set pieces get in this queasy-making entertainment about a 17-year-old dude's birthday bacchanalia.

rotten:
"Project X" bears a cravenly piggish attitude toward rewarding socially unacceptable behavior that feels unseemly rather than exciting, so-what rather than so-funny and obvious instead of new.

rotten:
Ultimately, Project X is an example of why gimmicks rarely work, especially once the new shine has worn off.

fresh:
The movie has all the heft of a tweet, but Philips has made it look pimp and, until the police end the party, Project X really is a riot.

rotten:
This is a film desperately in need of a McLovin. Also, jokes would help. And comedic chemistry between the actors. And an ending that isn't a bolted-on cop-out. Save yourselves. It's too late for me.
