Música, Amigos e Festa

A fairly underrated film that is very good in terms of entertainment and also in terms of plot, even if not very original, it is developed in a really beautiful way. The film has really great potential in my opinion and is also exploited quite well. The main theme is obviously friendship and wanting to achieve at all costs in what you want to do in life. In fact, the basis of this film is friendship and its importance. The film also plunges into a very sad part which in my opinion is rendered a bit badly because it is slightly too hasty and therefore does not convey all the sadness it should convey even if it suddenly arrives exactly as it should be.

Its no secret this movie bombed in the box office. That didn't stop me from watching it. Zac Efron has done a lot of good movies IMO.

I really don't care about the politics of the story. Some say its just a recycled idea. Kids want to be famous, have troubles, guy wants the girl, want to get rich, blah blah blah.

I watched this with an open mind and was pretty impressed. The damn soundtrack was on point!! The music was so good that I just kept watching to listen to the music. The story was good and the acting was good as well.

For someone to say "Never watch this movie" is absurd to me. Its worth a watch or two. I plan to re-watch it with my wife. (She was sleeping at the time.) The ending of the movie was down right pleasurable and I really connected with the main character at that point.

Watch this movie and then judge. Don't ever take someone else's word on a movie until you've watched it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I think what a lot of people don't understand is that this movie really touches on a certain time in your life where you are truly coming into your own. It reminds me of my own early 20's and when you don't fully realize how free, young, complicated and beautiful you are. Although it is far from perfect it is still incredibly well done to be able to capture a time in your youth where, yes, you are free and feel limitless but also trapped by your surroundings, while also facing the harsh realities of true adulthood.

All of the characters are branches of each other, some positive and some negative, but all intertwined.

Give this movie a chance and go into it with an open mind and heart, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I feel those expecting some mega existential change your life material out of movies miss out on the finer points.

Sure, there will be plenty of young people thinking this is a 'party' movie, and Zac Ephron followers will flock to the cinema to see him.

Those of us who actually enjoy story telling will be OK with this flick. Sure it wasn't heavy with mystery or intrigue, its a coming of age story of 4 friends trying to live out their dreams. Who doesn't have a story like that. Its about growing past those dreams, building new ones and dealing with the repercussions of the changes in life we make....some times which are thrust upon us.

The music is what I liked about this movie. Its not unlike other music related movies where an epiphany occurs for the lead character which makes all the difference in the world.

For an easy going movie this was worth the cheap night tickets I bought.

I went to see the movie because I like another Zac Efon vehicle, That Awkward Moment. The Movie is similar as it's about Efron leading a group of men in their early twenties that really need to grow up, but That Awkward Moment was a hilarious comedy, while We Are Your Friends is more of a satire.

It's not like that other DJ movie, Eden. Both tell the story about the life of a DJ, but we are Your Friends plays out more like 8- Mile, that tells the beginning of Eminem's climb to the top. Efon's character gives a philosophy on being a DJ that I've seen in other movies about music but never about DJing, which was cool.

The movie takes the subject matter seriously, but I feel the movie takes itself too seriously. For the most part its very light hearted but then they attempt to be sophisticated. Maybe this was to explore the full aspect of the scene they live in, but all it did for me was change the vibe too much.

But overall, the trailer made We Are Your Friends look like Efron was playing an A-hole while hanging with his A-hole friends doing A- hole things, but the movie itself was much better than that, but not much better.
