For the most part the film is very entertaining except for the overly artistic edge the director takes with the film. This can be defined by the use of a camcorder to tell the events of the story. Instead of a normal movie camera the director incorporates a camcorder to as the focal point for recording. It's distracting because the camera is moving around quite a bit.

The story is good, but not original. The characters are some what shallow because there's no time for them to develop. The story begins with a group of young NY socialites who get together one night to wish a friend goodbye. While the party ensues things take a different course.

I won't give away the goods.

Overall the movie was entertaining despite the irritating filming style.

B+
