I like the fact that Zac is an ever evolving character that knows how to deal with any kind of movie he gets the chance to play in. He takes me by surprise every time I see him acting and in this movie he showed us again that he got the skills to keep the viewers enjoyed with the story the movie had to share. It's a really true fact that nowadays electronic music festivals "take over" the world and spread happiness all around, and I'm glad that movies like these are made in order to make all of us conscious that this is the "lit" thing of the moment and it only takes a song to connect hundreds of thousands of souls, if not millions.

Being someone who has fiddled with music production and DJing, everyone was asking if I was going to see this movie. I never actually saw it in theaters and saw it on HBO. I had heard that it had received some mixed reviews so that kept me away from it but after seeing it I really enjoyed the movie. I thought the beginning was great and Zac Efron really nailed his character, as well as his friend group. The music was suburb throughout the entire movie, definitely the best part of the movie. The middle kinda got lost in the plot and leading up to the death of squirrel it felt like the movie itself was lost. But after his death I thought the movie picked back up and the ending in my opinion was really good. I gave it a 7 out of 10 because it really caught my attention for a Saturday afternoon flick, but I fell it is definitely worth the watch if you have the time

Critics hate it, I love it. I don't know what it was because yeah it was predictable but for me this film just clicked. This film was based on a very straight forward plot-line but covered so much more. Through this movie you have; the story of friendship, exotic romance, great music and quite simply the hardship of life weather it's job related a rough childhood this film covers it. It's a simply film that is able to attract most film lovers, if your into romance, documentary's or action movies your'll probably like this film. It's the story of a boy (Zac Efron) who DJ's at small local gig's that are organized by his friends. A famous Dj see's that he has talent and helps him get a huge concert. But during this there is cheating, death, fighting and Zac and his friends find their place in the world. I would definitely recommend seeing this film as it's a great, inspiring film that will almost certainly make you want to go to Las Vagas and Party!

Cole Carter (Zac Efron) is an aspiring DJ. He and his friends Mason, Ollie, and Squirrel live in the San Fernando Valley. They struggle to make something out of themselves with the center of the entertainment world just over the hills. They promote a club for one night of the week. Cole is taken with Sophie (Emily Ratajkowski), and finds a mentor in her boyfriend James Reed (Wes Bentley). The four friends start work for Paige (Jon Bernthal) who is in real-estate foreclosures.I root for Zac Efron. I like Zac Efron. This is a bad pick by him. He is probably the only good thing in this movie. His three friends need time to build their friendship. They are never more than superficial characters. Emily Ratajkowski fits the character well in one respect. She's a vapid model trying to be an actress but is actually horrible at acting. The overall sense is a bad superficiality when a darker, deeper tone would have lend some compelling realism to the movie.
