‘Project X’ a raunchfest

The movie: “Project X”

When: Opening Friday at local theaters

Cast: Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper, Jonathan Daniel Brown

Director: Nima Nourizadeh

The story: Three seemingly anonymous high school seniors try to make a name for themselves by staging an epic party that quickly spirals into comic chaos.

The buzz: “Hangover” director Todd Phillips returns to raunchy comedy as producer of this high-school raunchfest, which uses hand-held cameras — along with footage shot by cast and crew on flip cameras and mobile phones — to capture the dimensions of the (literally) explosive title bash.
