Details

A group of teenagers come together to indulge in that great Canadian pastime, the house-party, and find themselves literally confined to the kitchen trapped by an extraordinary well manicured carpet in the living room. Elsewhere, the parents of these kids have a dinner party of their own, where suburban pretense slowly melts away exposing childish obsessions.

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Steineded How sad is this?
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
TheNuttyIrishmen Netflix recommended this to me after I'd added another Scott Speedman movie to my instant queue. I'd been dragging my feet so far as watching it is concerned, and what finally pushed me over the edge was the running time- I was tired, but confident I could handle 82 minutes in a sitting.Starts slow, picks up a little and plays like a meaner 'Dazed and Confused'. Recognized Tammy from her eventual stint as Marie Warner on '24', and enjoyed the fact that Scott Speedman played a completely unlikable prick, through and through. I was pleased they didn't pull that punch, making him a totally self-absorbed douche.
kclark-7 I saw this movie on Superchannel when there was absolutely nothing else on. The synopsis was something like "Teenagers have a party in the kitchen when their parents aren't home". I thought, "that sounds lame, kinda like 'Can't Hardly Wait'". I watched it anyway. During the first few minutes I thought it was a little slow, and prepared myself to be bored out of my mind. Then the movie got going.Finally, a good Canadian movie!!! I had no idea it was Canadian, until about half-way through, when I realized that none of the cast had accents!Anyway, on to the movie itself. Such a great little film. It completely brought me back to my high school/college days. The characters were REAL - they didn't seem like they were reading scripts or trying for laughs. I didn't feel like my emotions were being fooled around with. This is an HONEST movie.The acting was really great (I thought). Each character was very well developed. The ONE problem (very minor) I had with this movie, was the fact that the parents of Scott and Steve were so anal about keeping their carpets perfect, yet they did NOT seem like those type of people when they were out with their friends. That part just didn't gel for me.But, aside from that very minor set-back, I really liked this movie. I can't say enough good things about it. It was so ON. A REAL movie that actually describes the feelings that go with being a teenager, old enough to move out of the house, but STILL living with your dreaded parents. I can't recommend this movie to enough people.After seeing this movie, I've GOTTA go rent "Suburbanites".
LT-10 There isn't really a whole lot to say on this one.Other then the fact that it is unique. Teens(like me) probably would prefer Can't Hardly Wait, as it is what were used to, and its got a soundtrack and everything, but this one actually has characters that arn't just at a party they've all got stories. 8/10
jaggm Speaking as a 33 year old, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie about a group of highschool students having a party. This setting of a group of teens having a party at friend's house took me back to my highschool days. It was so incredibly real that it could have been any one of the parties I attended in my school days.I also got a lot of laughs and thought the script was wonderfully interesting. Two thumbs up for a project well done! Anyone who has ever partied in their lives, should definitely see this one. And Scott Speedman! What a doll, if only I were 10 years younger!
