Consensus: Though high on energy and great techno tunes, Groove's characters and plotlines are too cliched to be engaging.

Reviews for Groove
If this movie achieves anything, it makes you realize how dull parties really are.
By the end ... we're wishing the lot of them would either overdose or go to bed.
A curiously dorky act of hipster sincerity, less party movie than cheesy valentine.
Most of the performances are stiff, and the awkward dialogue is made even worse by the way in which it is delivered.
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.
One gets the impression that going to a rave is a lot more fun than watching one. (And avoiding raves altogether seems like an even better plan.)
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.
Manages to both capture the spirit of a counterculture and reflect on the essentially conventional lives of those who lose themselves in the buzz.
