The flick has some artistic glare, the color filter and indy-style help to taste the Miami/ibiza air, though, I skipped through most of this flick, the soundtrack rules, remembered to a lot of nicely laid tracks (mixed),though the inter-splice of DJs and promoed cameos is off--they jive so far from the story line--and it's so improved it jerks the rest of the movie.
The girls are hot, though--sure enough, but unfortunately all come off somewhat lame -- not truly exotic like tru tecno iz I wish someone would make a flick more about the sickness of the scene, the best most off the wall raves, have the realness of the scene be the carrier, and the actors have to flow with it, rather than attempted integration into--plus, this "Elvis" character sucks, it's not about the music, it's about this nerd trying to learn how to spin... AKA, HE'S NOT A REAL DJ! One interview in the beginning even states it -- if you shouldn't be trying to be a DJ if you suck to begin with - it should be inherent what you are trying to do.

BLOWS -- Like the techno scene
Don't waste your time.
This was absolute garbage. Terrible acting, very little storyline, just nonsense really. If you're considering watching it, don't.
Not worth it...
I can't believe this movie has gotten high ratings so far. This 'movie' has essentially no plot besides some aspiring DJ sleeping with hot chicks. Looking at hot chicks is a positive (if you are a guy - check out the ratings by demographics, skewed ya?),and you get to listen to some decent music if you are into that kind of thing. You can easily duplicate the entire experience by going to a club for 2 hours though, and it is the real thing.
The reason why I gave it a 2 (and not a 1) is that the 5 minutes or so of interviews was mildly entertaining and it was nice to put some faces to some of the more famous DJs around.
