Steineded How sad is this?

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

k_mas So far I haven't seen a movie like this. A movie that is funny and maintaining originality at the same time. Have you seen a movie like this? I don't think so.I watched this before I turned the ripe old age to legally drink and party, and let's just say that without this movie, I would definitely be the girl crying on the steps and I'm a guy.Despite the full frontal nudity of illicit drugs, it deserves a kudos because of its gonad kicking ability to society by showing the true fact that these things happen in life. The movie title itself is basically what the movie is all about, 'getting down'. It isn't meant to offend people, it isn't meant to encourage people. Its soul purpose (in my opinion) is to say "Don't turn the blind eye because this s*** goes down at parties".I wouldn't go to far to say that this is the way of life. I'm just trying to say that this movie does capture that wild side and puts it on the big screen and shows you angels what it's like on the other side.

cj-123 Seriously, every college student/random young adult, planning on coming to party in South Beach ( or LA or NYC ) should view this film. It's a serious look at the party " do and don't " list.Basic party manners and how to avoid the pitfalls of everyone not wanting you to come to the next party are contained.View it with the same mind that had to sit through the stupid movies in traffic school. It's not meant to be anything but a guide. I don't think the characters were supposed to evolve. They set out with basic characters that the viewer could identify with ( at least one of them for each viewer ). They put them in a party situation and allowed each to stay in that environment with the aide of the guide.If you're viewing hoping to get an academy award performance from a virtually unknown cast of party peeps in LA - you're out of luck. If you'd like to go and party like a rock-star, take notes. Nothing worse in a party than someone who has no class or party savvy.

LordZorlac I just stumbled across this movie last night and wow! Some might bash this movie as a rip-off of Swingers but it is FAR from it. I live in Dallas and it's pretty much like it is in the movie here. The reason I like it so much is that I know the "Fiend", "Dealer", "Girl or Guy who will not shut up", etc. The going to the bar and having some girl try to get you to buy her a drink or the cheese ball guy hitting on every girl is very true. Going to the after hours party (Uptown, Addisson, Oaklawn, Lakewood Etc.) but never had to worry about Mr.Belding. See it with an open mind and if you do go out and partake in any of the activities you will say "my god what am I doing"!??

kate douglas (kbfisher) Overall, fantastic! A warning: if you don't live in LA - you might not get it. Those that have given descriptions that say this is a fictional portrayal of stereotypic characters haven't partied in LA and haven't experienced how true and hilarious this movie really is.B&G's guide is a portrayal of hipster party life in Los Angeles. It's story is told like a "how to" manual for the various scenarios that scenesters find themselves in. Its well shot, and I thought that the director, Paul Sapiano, did an excellent job. I love that one of the main characters brought an old mobile to one of the parties in silver lake, and made it a fashion statement. Its too bad that this movie was not released in more theaters. As far as I know, there was only one showing thus far in LA at the Chinese Mann theater in Hollywood. I hope to see it released, and more accessible in the future.
