When a high school party for a few friends gets out of hand, it turns into one of the most epic events ever!

When a group of three unpopular high school seniors decide to throw a small party to increase their standing, they are just looking to invite a few of the popular kids, but a few more than expected arrive and things get a little out of hand...

Thomas, Costa and JB take the opportunity of Thomas' parents being away to have a small get together for his birthday, just a few close friends and one or two of the popular and beautiful from their high school. Things get a little bit out of control, and the quiet suburban neighborhood is transformed into one of the biggest house parties in the history of the state.

Add to this a drug crazed maniac with a flame thrower, a pink dog and a midget in an oven and you have the perfect recipe for an event that will not only make the boys popular, but put them down in folklore and may well set them up for the rest of their lives.

It is hard to describe this film without using all of the cliched terms which go with party films like this, but this one truly does put all other "Out of control" party films to a whole new world of shame. The things these kids pull off, brings a whole new way of thinking to throwing a party, gathering comedy, shock value, vulgarity and some truly cracking party tunes to create an event which leaves the older members of the audience wishing they could be young again and the younger members, looking for where to find a party like it anywhere!

The language is filthy, the jokes crude, the nudity, really in your face, and the drug references, more blatant than most films, but combined they make the perfect setting for this great film, which, once all of the dust settles is a really decent watch, well at least if you are over the age of 18 and remember what it was like to be young and reckless.

Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper and Jonathan Daniel Brown take on the rolls of Thomas, Costa and JB respectively, giving great performances, Cooper being the shining light in the trio, his mouthy antics giving the audience cold shivers of shame at times, but always wondering what will come out of his mouth next. Brady Hender and the young Nick Nervies give stellar performances as the would be security guards, there to keep out the "uncool" people, and keep the numbers to under 100. They fail more dismally than anybody in the history of security has failed.

Throughout the whole fiasco, Thomas Mann, tries to keep a calm exterior despite having the most awesome and frightening night of his life and one that will change him forever, keeping a calm tone when taking the many concerned calls from his missing parents, neighbors and police! Martin Klebba, is probably the best known face in this film, and for his troubles gets locked in an oven, the consequences of which can never be good!

This film is offensive, perverse and wrong in so many other ways, but is one of the most fun films you could ever hope to watch. That is if it doesn't shock you to your very core. It is certainly not for everybody, and those who like a nice quiet visit to the cinema, stay WELL away from this film, but for those who like a laugh, good fun and some stomping tunes, this is the best film of the year for your tastes thus far.

Well worth the entrance fee, if just for the memories alone...
