Reviews Counted:49

Fresh:27

Average Rating:6.1/10

Consensus: Though high on energy and great techno tunes, Groove's characters and plotlines are too cliched to be engaging.

Runtime: 86 mins

Genre: Dramas

Synopsis: San Francisco's rave scene is exposed in this exciting independent drama from writer-director Greg Harrison. Colin Turner invites his brother David, a struggling writer, to a party named GROOVE,... San Francisco's rave scene is exposed in this exciting independent drama from writer-director Greg Harrison.

The fresh-faced cast of newcomers and edgy, restless camerawork make up for the script's inherent predictability.

anything but a cautionary expose. In fact, it's almost an urban fairy tale.

If this movie achieves anything, it makes you realize how dull parties really are.

Features plenty of blaring and thumping techno-pop tunes, but not much else.
