A very cute little tale of the Southern California underworld action going on up in this film. This isn't one to watch if you're looking for an Oscar flick in the making but if your goal is too zone out with something entertaining for just a little over an hour then look no further! Some ravers complain that it wasn't accurate enough but think about it, I mean real shady stuff goes down at these parties and if they were to show it exactly as it is then the movie would be rated NC-17 at the least. The music was great and I thought it was neat how they had real life DJ's make some cameos. The multiple sub-plots made it interesting to follow because it switched between a couple of groups and I liked it since even though it did this I didn't find it confusing at all. The only flaw I really found was the acting tended to be a little weak but a handful actually did okay. I also thought the movie was too short and they definitely could've extended it to two hours and still have demanded my attention but with the low-budget they had it's to be expected. It got my mind off things for awhile and I enjoyed it.Final Dance:Movies: I wouldn't mind going if only to hear it on the gigantic speakers.DVD Purchase: Will have to think about this for a little bit...but is a strong possibility.Rental: I already want to watch it again!
... View MoreCrazy picture about a group who go to all manner of effort to put on techno dance parties in abandoned buildings. The spaced out dancers [for want of a better word] were entertained for several hours by a succession of DJ's, each with his/her own collection of tunes. Since the law was being broken to hold the event things didn't go smoothly all night, however everyone seemed to take it in stride. Interesting look a portion of a degenerate generation whose sole intent is to have a good time.
... View Morei had really looked forward to seeing this movie. it featured a cast that was [for the most part] from my neighborhood and it was set in my town.unfortunately, i hadn't made it out in time to see it in the theater. still, everybody seemed to rave about it so i kept it on my 'to see' list. what a waste of time. it was such a waste that it made me angry i'd dedicated an evening to watching it. groove is bad, but not in a funny way. not funny at all. it seemed really outdated for the time it was made -- more like a poor representation of 1991 ravers or a 40 y.o.'s impression of a warehouse party constructed from vague details provided by a 13y.o.. the pacing was erratic, the dialog was poorly written and i couldn't have cared less about the characters.it was painful. it was embarrassing. it was painfully embarrassing. one comment from a friend sums it up: "it was made by 415 productions for chrissake, what do you expect?" touché.
... View MoreFilm follows the events that take place within 24 hours at an underground rave in San Francisco on a Saturday night. Of course this rave is different because a whole bunch of the characters will find their lives changed forever. Entertaining, but unmemorable effort made on a shoestring budget features a few nice directorial touches and moves along nicely, despite very familiar material. Rated R.
