Sorry, this movie sucks

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This movie will not get in the top 250 for sure. It will also not be spoken about too much. It is not one of the greatest pieces ever presented and it will not blow your mind. However, it is not as bad as some people have said it to be. Sure, it has many flaws and many overlooked mistakes, but after I saw it I didn't think that it was a waste of my time and if someone wanted me to recommend a relaxing movie I would not be ashamed to name this one. "We are your friends" has some interesting viewpoints that show the importance of friendship. Sadly those moments are rare and for a movie called "We Are Your Friends" we get to see way more screen time of a pseudo-love story than friendships but it definitely has its moments. Zac Efron has had better performances but if you don't mind spending some of your time watching a somewhat fun, somewhat insightful movie you won't mind his role. Another point that is touched on in the movie is creativity. I know, I know, a cliché and yet it is presented in an interesting way, but you have to see the movie to find out. The movie could have definitely been written better and played better and yet it is worth its time. If you have nothing to do and want to watch something other than the regular superhero movie, this could be your thing.

'WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS': Four Stars (Out of Five)Low-budget drama flick; about a 23-year-old aspiring DJ, trying to make it in the San Fernando Valley music scene. It was directed by first-time feature filmmaker Max Joseph; and it was written by Joseph, Meghan Oppenheimer and Richard Silverman (all first-time feature scriptwriters). The movie stars Zac Efron, Wes Bentley, Emily Ratajkowski, Jonny Weston, Shiloh Fernandez and Alex Shaffer. I think it's a pretty interesting look at the electronic dance music scene, in California. Efron plays Cole Carter; a 23-year-old that desperately wants to become a successful DJ. He lives in San Fernando Valley, with his friend Mason (Weston). Mason also acts as Cole's producer. He and their other friends, Ollie (Fernandez) and Squirrel (Shaffer), spend a lot of their time promoting Cole; at the local college campus. Things take a serious turn, when Cole meets an older veteran DJ, named James Reed (Bentley); who takes Cole under his wing. Things become especially complicated, when Cole falls for James's girlfriend, Sophie (Ratajkowski).The movie only made a modest profit at the Box Office, and it got only mixed reviews from critics. I really like it though. It has a cult classic feel to it; reminiscent to movies like 1990s 'PUMP UP THE VOLUME'. It's well directed and written, and there's a really memorable animated drug sequence in it. The performances are all decent; especially Efron, in the lead. Definitely worth seeing.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/EuKmXpjFt-k

Came into this movie with zero expectations; barely knowing what it was about and came out very pleasantly surprised.This is a California Valley "lost youth" movie with the DJ scene and LA's bright lights as a background. Its strength is to focus on a tight, well rounded group of characters and all the actors, including Effron, deliver good to strong performances.The end is particularly good. Without spoiling it makes you go through the emotional roller-coaster very well. If you have any passing interest in Cali, DJs... or Emilia Ratajkowski who's just beautiful as usual, this is a good movie!

I really liked it! Even Zac Efron, as a man roughly the same age as him, I hate to like him, but he's hard to hate in this one. It was beautifully shot. It's a movie surrounding the digital music scene. There's parties, drugs, music, and extremely beautiful women. "I love it here". The whole movie builds (albeit slowly at some points) towards the ending pretty nicely. Wes Bentley is one of the best at playing those characters you love to hate. Him and Zac have a very genuine relationship., in fact the whole movie is very genuine to me.Emily Ratajkowski though.... I mean, she's literal perfection. They actually make me want to "roll" in Vegas. I can't imagine what that life would be like being from a small Canadian town. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. I got to see what it would be like to do things people think you're not supposed to. Seeing the pitfalls and triumphs of the ride was pretty amazing. Any rating below a 7 is a crime, how many story lines are 100% organic, give me this over another Spider-Man reboot any day...Pretty pumped for the Spider-Man reboots TBH.
