Description

Life begins when the sun goes down for a group of party-prone friends attending an L.A. rave. The music starts and the dream begins as partygoer Puck gives them each a sample of his new "love potion". This glowing green liquid fuels their inner desires and allows the friends to connect with their long secret loves during the night of dancing, lights, and unadulterated fun. Will a drug deal gone bad ruin the evening or can the uplifting mood of the rave along with Puck's potion bring out the best in everyone? The weather is hot, the music is pounding, the mood is electric and the stakes are high in this modern adaptation of Shakespeare's most popular play.

Customer Reviews:

Like the idea... not so much on the execution.......2007-05-13

Well, where to begin... I wasnt a fan of any of the actors too much, but I've got to admit I like the idea of Midsummer set at a rave and ecstacy is what Puck is peddling. I needed this movie to compare with the Stanley Tucci version for a class project and I would HIGHLY reccomend the Stanley Tucci version. Its not updated, but sometimes you gotta ask yourself why update Shakespeare? Im not saying im utterly against it, but is it necessary in each case?

Decent Redo.......2006-08-10

The only real problem I had with this movie was the sound quality. The actors and acting was great. The screenplay was an interesting new twist on an old classic. Midsummer Night's Dream is one of my favorite Shakespeare comedies. The music at the rave was spotty at best. Granted this was an indie film so music was the last on the budget and the first thing cut, they did a great job. The extra features are boring but the film is great.

Worth seeing.......2006-07-24

I thought this movie was great!! I am a huge fan of groove and human traffic. this movies dulls in comparison...but I do have to say i was engrossed the entire time!! I absolutely love the music, who do i ask about releasing a soundtrack? the music just plane rocks and the storyline is good as well...however...did those peeps in the beginning ever make it to amsterdamn?????? n e wayz...i def reccommend!!!! 4 starts def!!!

Rave on.......2006-05-17

Its a movie made for a E head raver techno trance junkie. You will be entertained right until the ending credits. It is ment to be cheesy and make fun of the whole rave scene.I dont know if it was the music but there is really a lovable quality about the film. If the music doesent get you to love it you have plenty of cheesy dialouge and cheesy to the max scenes to keep you entertained. It doesent even come close to being as good as Groove but it does show a more realistic portrayal of the scene and people. All in all if your looking for a well made "rave movie" watch Groove, Human Traffic, Party Girl, or Go. But if you liked those how can you not like this?

Great Music.......2006-05-17

Ok, ok, the movie was probably only worth three stars. It's kind of monotonous. If you ever considered yourself a raver, or even if you just like to dance to techno/electronica, it is kind of fun to watch for its realism. However, the music gets a full five stars. I really wish there was a soundtrack available.

Also, I'm a big fan of Shakespeare. This is not his play. I started off assuming that this was based on his play. It's not. After about fifteen minutes, it's painfully obvious that only some of the characters are loosely connected to the original, and allusions are made occasionally. However, if you forget the title and the Shakespeare connection, it's not too awful a movie.
