Groove

Pleasantly modest, endearingly etched and briskly set to a pounding beat.

What'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.

Divided into sections bracketed by the arrival of each new DJ and is enlivened by the edgy yet trendy environment.

What gives the movie its coltish charm is Harrison's scene-setting feel for the indomitable brio of kids.

A sweet-natured ode to rave culture saddled with a ridiculously clichéd plot line.

Groove is less a work of subcultural ethnography than a curiously dorky act of hipster sincerity, less party movie than cheesy valentine

Unfortunately, it lacks a compelling story or characters of any complexity.
