83Pleasantly modest, endearingly etched and briskly set to a pounding beat.
-
80Lively, likable and refreshingly unsensationalistic about the drugs and sex that come with the territory, this techno-propelled mash note to the rave spirit sticks to the surface.
-
78A fun, well-assembled and -performed slice of life that requires no special affinity with the subject matter in order to -- ahem -- get one's groove on.
-
75If you require fine writing, sharp plotting and consistently good acting, you will be in for a long 86 minutes.
-
75What's infectious about Groove is the friendly, almost innocent way that its brat pack of digital-age bohemians seek liberation in a world where there is nothing left to rebel against.
-
70As a musical feast, Groove works well. As a celebration of tribal ritual, it's even better.
-
70The film's seductive lack of pretension will make a fan of you.
-
70Groove offers the most wholesome vision of orgiastic oneness imaginable -- it's a raver's version of "The Love Boat."
-
70Divided into sections bracketed by the arrival of each new DJ and is enlivened by the edgy yet trendy environment.
-
63Contains too many weak performances and predictable lines to succeed, but it's probably the best rave movie so far.
-
63This is not the addictive, hot-wired movie you want.
-
63Has a sweetness to it that's irresistible, and its techno, trance and jungle soundtrack is as infectious and hypnotic as a contact high.
-
60What gives the movie its coltish charm is Harrison's scene-setting feel for the indomitable brio of kids.
-
50I liked the music. I would rather have the movie's soundtrack than see Groove again--or at all.
-
50If you're a rave virgin, it'll more likely make you feel like the guest nobody invited. And why would you pay nine bucks for that?
-
50The music and wizard DJs in Groove are better than the dopey story.
-
50A sweet-natured ode to rave culture saddled with a ridiculously clichéd plot line.
-
50The story of Groove... provides an ingratiating road map to a cultural phenomenon. Just make sure you drink lots of water while you're there.
-
48Its characters and plot are almost wholly negligible. It's just a party.
-
40Groove is less a work of subcultural ethnography than a curiously dorky act of hipster sincerity, less party movie than cheesy valentine
-
40There's not enough sustained musical momentum to simulate the energy of an actual rave; the characters are likable but unremarkable.
-
40The best thing about this movie? It's short.
-
33Groove seems to be less about what it is chronicling than what its attempting to decipher.
-
25But there's nothing in this amateurish movie that the opening credits of last year's "Go" didn't do better.
-
Unfortunately, it lacks a compelling story or characters of any complexity.
