Jack C. @Jaqiboi Dec 13, 2025 A mockumentary that's equal parts absurd and honest. Getting down is an abstract concept and this movie offers insight into the lifestyle. It's far less raw and graphic than K.I.D.S. but shows a similar view of the same culture but in a more comedic fashion with different adult social circles and settings, as well as a variety of personality stereotypes. It's informative and entertaining. The music is really fitting. The characters are intentionally cliche. Don't expect a serious movie because it absolutely does not take itself too seriously. Cameos from Mr. Belding and Meghan Markle. This film has been in my personal collection for almost 2 decades. If you've ever been a part of the party scene I would recommend this movie as it has cultural significance and merit. A true hidden gem. See more Jul 6, 2020 I watched this movie in 2020 - it simply just hasn't aged well Many aspects of the club life ring true today but the gaudy use of gay bashing and acceptance of rape culture as the norm made it deeply cringeworthy at times throughout the film. It was a cute movie with bright points throughout the film, but be advised that it's perspective on these issues has not withstood the test of time See more Jul 24, 2018 Faux documentary has a few funny spots. See more May 25, 2014 Silly & very low budget, but also surprisingly thought out. While the plot(s) themselves are very weak, there's a shocking depth of knowledge to the fluffy, icky subject matter. See more Jul 29, 2013 Hilarious!!!! Very entertaining. See more Jun 30, 2013 An irreverent... wait, am I really using that word to review this movie?...jesus... anyway, this is a good send-up on everything that the cheesy world of pre-millenial romance used to look like. While it takes cues from social situations dating as far back as the 80's (gasp!) and can seem hilariously dated, it still hits home on many levels, and if you don't at least get a chuckle out of it, stop what you're doing and enroll in art school where no one in our 'dumbed-down' society will have to listen to your vapid opinion ever again. 4/5 because it doesn't try too hard, and imparts some age-old wisdoms (like brothers, it's not sexist to let a girl know that it's not cool to come onto you and use your drunken horniness to do all your drugs...SHANNON. *pouts*) See more Read all reviews
