These kind of parties are actually pretty lame

I've been to many parties myself, but thankfully nothing like the one portrayed in the movie. The staple of any good party is not quantity, but quality- as in a bunch of cool people out to have a good time.

These people were not cool in the slightest. They were stupid, unattractive, slutty, grotesque and had terrible taste in music.

Just saying. You don't need a huge crowd for the best party ever. You just need a group of awesome people willing to let go, but not let go so much that it stops being fun and becomes obnoxious.

I would never want to go to a party like this nor be around any of these losers.

Drugs, alcohol, jumping castles and swimming pools are all great staples of great parties, but it's not cool when you take it too far and shove a midget in an oven or ruin someone's car. That's just supremely lame and only idiots who can't handle their drugs and alcohol take it that far.

That's why stupid kids, like the ones in the movie, aren't allowed to drink. They simply can't hold their bloody liquor and I couldn't think of anything more uncool than a bunch of stupid kids who can't drink without being dickheads.

Rant finished.

These parties usually get broken up fairly early to.

It's not an all or nothing thing. A party like this is solely about excess. Excess for the sake of excess can be highly entertaining as a voyeur. Just as long as nobody dies, it's all good.

This is simply another fantasy teen party movie written by someone who's simply imagining what all these great parties they were never invited to must have been like. There isn't a remotely realistic scene in this entire movie.

The original post was pretty harsh and I would dear say elitist calling people ugly and as far as the music almost presjudicial since most of was rap. I personally I'm not a big fan of the parties like this because I tend to be a Wallflower and I do not drink but I could appreciate this from a voyeuristic aspect

The Op saying drugs are a staple of great parties just proves the Op is an idiot.

[–] I_Shall_Be_Released 12 years ago

Uh-huh, because everybody who takes drugs are idiots, like the people in the film. Which would mean Charles Dickens, Van Gough, The Beatles and Steve Jobs were all idiots. Yup.

This movie was lame and the people in it were lame.

But it really wasn't aimed at me, which is why I'm bitching about it. Enjoy your lame movie; it was probably made for you.

Uh, no. Drugs are great.

Everybody that takes the time to come to IMDB to write a screed to insult *fictional characters* in a silly party movie are idiots.

Thanks for sharing your judgmental opinion about a bunch of fictional characters in a second-rate movie written for 15 year olds.

I agree...this is on TV right now. This party looks God awful. I would HATE to be there.

But I'm a very introverted "prefer stay inside/alone and think" kind of person, and parties aren't my thing anyway. So maybe for a partying type this movie is the ultimate dream... but for me this would be like a party from nightmares.

I can't even watch it anymore because it's too much like I'm actually at this awful party haha. At least, too much for me!

midget in an oven

He was a jerk who had it coming to him.

Ridiculous view of the film.

It really does amaze me how you can say this was a 'lame' party. You obviously don't know the meaning of the word 'party' because I'm sure 99% of people would love to be going to one like this.

The ones you go to must be extremely bad/boring and full of retarded people. Sorry to rant but I get the feeling you're just a needless virgin who doesn't understand what actually happens to make a good party.

I recommend you get out there a bit more and experience stuff like this, stuff which every other teenager is doing right now.

Maybe have a go on one of these 'slutty' girls lmsao

[–] I_Shall_Be_Released 12 years ago

That's funny because it seemed like the characters in the films were the 'needless virgins'.

That the kind of party this is- it's for needless virgins who idolize excess and exploitation because they haven't experienced meaningful human experiences yet.

Look I don't want to try and pretend this film is supposed to be anything it's not. It obviously wasn't made for me. Enjoy your film, but don't try and change my opinion on the kind of people this movie is about and is made for. Because I do think this party looked awful and I don't really care if your bloated statistic of 99% of people liking it is true (though it definitely isn't. Maybe like 20% of under 18 kids who have yet to engage in the real world).

So, if you were just a normal kid in high school you would have never gone to a huge party everyone was talking about, all the kids from school that you know are going. And you might actually have a decent chance at getting to be better friends with people. Also there is the incentive, that, if your a guy, all of the girls you think are hot or pretty are going to be there....
I agree that a party doesn't need to be huge to be fun. But, this one, although a bit over the top, would be pretty awesome.

[–] cobes11 11 years ago

I agree. Some of the biggest and wildest parties I have attended were very little fun. It is like watching MTV Spring Break with just crazy wildness, but I am sure that most of the people on there are just pretending to have fun. There is a lot of expensive cheap booze, all the girls are teasing like crazy, guys are all horny but girls are teasing, everything is too loud and busy to actually talk to anyone, and if you get separated from your group to even go to the restroom you will never find them.

The point of this is not to have fun, but just have a story to tell 20 years from now.

And one last thing. I think that only vampires and maybe zombies can actually drink bloody liquor. The idea is kinda gross.
