Hey DJ (2003) Reviews
Way to go Johnson!
I was expecting your average, been done before, hyped-up movie, but I did enjoy Hey DJ. It was different and enjoyable. I really enjoyed the eclectic cast. Every actor in the movie (and DJ), played their part well. I particularly enjoyed the smaller parts...the casting director did a great job from every angle, and hence the title of my message "Way to go Johnson" I took the name of one of my favourite characters! I thought the role (played by Terry Camilleri) was done very well and couldn't have been casted better. A great addition to a truly exceptional cast. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants an unusually entertaining and far out evening! Great film, my favourite parts being the plot and acting, but I did enjoy the entire movie! SEE THIS MOVIE!
Interesting look at the world of DJ's
Although this movie was not what i expected, i still enjoyed it through and through. Intead of the in depth look at the world of dance music that it was said to be, i enjoyed watching a drunken loser climb his way to the top and become the popular women loving DJ that he turned into. The soundtrack was awesome and matched the movie were it needed to. I liked the way i the movie was done roughly, to me it gave it the extra edge that it needed and gave it more of a home job sort of feel to it which i thought added to the movie in a positive way. I must admit that the cameos were a bit lost on me, DJ Hounddog was meant to be a poor excuse for a DJ and yet all his friends and people he meets were all top DJ's. That was a let down as it doesn't happen like that in the real world. Sit back and enjoy this movie for what it is, something a bit different but something worthwhile. on a side note, the cast were all top notch and suited the characters they played perfectly. (some where awesomely attractive too!!) cheers, and enjoy
It's Hot in South Beach
I sneaked a peek at this last night, and had a ball. The international DJ scene is explored from the fish lens of a British transplant in South Beach. The lead character is a bit of a hound dog, but it's all in good fun, and the music is a gas. I liked the way the filmmakers incorporated fantasy and reality, and were unafraid to use sexuality shamelessly, without becoming a cheesy excuse for depicting soft-core porn. A lot of actual DJ's were introduced, but their personalities were not as fully explored as I would have enjoyed, but I got a taste of the scene. Jacobs is quite a character, and I hope to see him more often. HEY DJ rocks a medium that has become altogether too flaccid.
Clubbers... House Lovers... This is the one! This is your movie!
What can I say...? I bought the DVD, not because of the acting, but because of the soundtrack and the DJ cameos. Later, when i was watching the movie, I was impressed... The acting is really quite good and the plot is very interesting... Very sexy humor, great writing and directing... And of course, the music. The environment. Ibiza! Oh my God! Fantastic soundtrack, beautiful women... The scenario is incredible... All the major Ibiza clubs are there for you to enjoy, and maybe see them for the first time, or even choose where to go on your next vacations (nudge, nudge, wink, wink!)... "Hey DJ" is a great movie! Vibrant, funny, touching (at some point)! Buy it! See it! Do something! :)
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.
