Harrison understands his material, creating a slice of life that pulses like one of John Digweed's mixes.

Achieves its high by tapping into the real thing -- the wonder of making movies.

The fresh-faced cast of newcomers and edgy, restless camerawork make up for the script's inherent predictability.

Like drug movies from the 1960s, it's naive, believing that the problems of the straight life can be solved by dropping out and tuning in.

This is a fun movie with nothing much up director Harrison's sleeve but showing the audience and his cast a good time.

Watching someone else look at their hands, or stare at a pattern of psychedelic colors, or engage in the sort of banal chit-chat that seems so heavy when you're stoned out of your gourd, just doesn't cut it as entertainment.

Top CriticA nice little change of pace, one that features an appealing cast of fresh faces and an infectious sense of fun.

Manages to both capture the spirit of a counterculture and reflect on the essentially conventional lives of those who lose themselves in the buzz.

It's a fun night, even if this party lacks Go's cleverness and stars.

A movie for those in love with the rave scene, and those who are just curious.

What's infectious about Groove is the friendly, almost innocent way that its brat pack of digital-age bohemians seek liberation in a world where there is nothing left to rebel against.

Top CriticOffers a look at the underground rave scene, providing an accurate picture of what one night must be like, but without giving any insight beyond the superficial.

Basically, the party itself is actually pretty fun.
