I was expecting your average, been done before, hyped-up movie, but I did enjoy Hey DJ. It was different and enjoyable. I really enjoyed the eclectic cast. Every actor in the movie (and DJ), played their part well. I particularly enjoyed the smaller parts...the casting director did a great job from every angle, and hence the title of my message "Way to go Johnson" I took the name of one of my favourite characters! I thought the role (played by Terry Camilleri) was done very well and couldn't have been casted better. A great addition to a truly exceptional cast. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants an unusually entertaining and far out evening! Great film, my favourite parts being the plot and acting, but I did enjoy the entire movie! SEE THIS MOVIE!
The flick has some artistic glare, the color filter and indy-style help to taste the Miami/ibiza air, though, I skipped through most of this flick, the soundtrack rules, remembered to a lot of nicely laid tracks (mixed), though the inter-splice of DJs and promoed cameos is off--they jive so far from the story line--and it's so improved it jerks the rest of the movie.
The girls are hot, though--sure enough, but unfortunately all come off somewhat lame -- not truly exotic like tru tecno iz I wish someone would make a flick more about the sickness of the scene, the best most off the wall raves, have the realness of the scene be the carrier, and the actors have to flow with it, rather than attempted integration into--plus, this "Elvis" character sucks, it's not about the music, it's about this nerd trying to learn how to spin... AKA, HE'S NOT A REAL DJ! One interview in the beginning even states it -- if you shouldn't be trying to be a DJ if you suck to begin with - it should be inherent what you are trying to do.

This movie will be the groundbreaking movie for the star, Fysche. Watch out! She's an up and coming actress. This movie is full of twists and spins. The movie is just a great one to have fun on a Friday night. Sit back and Enjoy!!

Although this movie was not what i expected, i still enjoyed it through and through. Intead of the in depth look at the world of dance music that it was said to be, i enjoyed watching a drunken loser climb his way to the top and become the popular women loving DJ that he turned into. The soundtrack was awesome and matched the movie were it needed to. I liked the way i the movie was done roughly, to me it gave it the extra edge that it needed and gave it more of a home job sort of feel to it which i thought added to the movie in a positive way.
I must admit that the cameos were a bit lost on me, DJ Hounddog was meant to be a poor excuse for a DJ and yet all his friends and people he meets were all top DJ's. That was a let down as it doesn't happen like that in the real world.
Sit back and enjoy this movie for what it is, something a bit different but something worthwhile.
on a side note, the cast were all top notch and suited the characters they played perfectly. (some where awesomely attractive too!!) cheers, and enjoy

What can I say...? I bought the DVD, not because of the acting, but because of the soundtrack and the DJ cameos. Later, when i was watching the movie, I was impressed... The acting is really quite good and the plot is very interesting... Very sexy humor, great writing and directing...
And of course, the music. The environment. Ibiza! Oh my God! Fantastic soundtrack, beautiful women... The scenario is incredible... All the major Ibiza clubs are there for you to enjoy, and maybe see them for the first time, or even choose where to go on your next vacations (nudge, nudge, wink, wink!)...
"Hey DJ" is a great movie! Vibrant, funny, touching (at some point)! Buy it! See it! Do something! :)
