I sneaked a peek at this last night, and had a ball. The international DJ scene is explored from the fish lens of a British transplant in South Beach. The lead character is a bit of a hound dog, but it's all in good fun, and the music is a gas. I liked the way the filmmakers incorporated fantasy and reality, and were unafraid to use sexuality shamelessly, without becoming a cheesy excuse for depicting soft-core porn. A lot of actual DJ's were introduced, but their personalities were not as fully explored as I would have enjoyed, but I got a taste of the scene. Jacobs is quite a character, and I hope to see him more often. HEY DJ rocks a medium that has become altogether too flaccid.
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.

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!

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! :)
