I completely agree with your assessment of the movie. I heard from someone somewhere that there is going to be sequel.

I'm also told that people who watched this movie in the theaters did get a little sick from all the movement of the camera.

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+
